Financial Engineer

The OTC derivatives market moves trillions of dollars daily on infrastructure that hasn't fundamentally changed in decades. We're building the platform for the next evolution of financial services.

We're a small team that came from trading, quant, and engineering roles at tier one financial institutions who were previously responsible for creating some of the most innovative products in the market. We are now building a platform which can process the most complex transactions executed across financial markets. We are building this right: delightful experience, modern stack, AI-native architecture.

Our clients are the most sophisticated banks, hedge-funds, and asset managers in the world. The problems are extremely hard, the scale is massive, and we're creating infrastructure that will define how this market operates for decades to come.

We are cloud-native employing serverless compute and IAC by design, with services written in both Python and Java. We leverage the latest foundation models and AI tooling, with a front end based on Typescript / React.

We have a fully automated SDLC utilizing Github, Logfire, Vercel and other technologies for rapid and continuous intraday deployment.
