PostgreSQL Database​/Senior Database Reliability Engineer

Company Overview

Nodal Exchange is a derivatives exchange providing price, credit and liquidity risk management to participants in the North American commodity markets. It is a leader in innovation, having introduced the largest sets of environmental and electric power futures and options contracts in the world. All transactions on Nodal Exchange—power, environmental and natural gas—are cleared through its wholly owned clearing house, Nodal Clear, using its award‑winning portfolio margining methodology.

Nodal Clear also clears a broad set of crypto futures contracts for Coinbase Derivatives Exchange. The company has built most of the trading and clearing platforms in‑house and is part of the EEX Group, which belongs to the Deutsche Börse Group.

We are now looking for talented, innovative individuals to join our team in Tysons Corner, VA (DC Metro area).

Every trade on one of North America’s largest power futures exchanges runs through Postgre

SQL. Every settlement, every margin calculation, every risk assessment. This isn’t a database that supports the business—it is the business.

We’re hiring a Database Reliability Engineer who can own our data layer end to end. Not someone who monitors dashboards and runs backups—someone who understands WAL internals, thinks in replication topologies, and has opinions about how data infrastructure should evolve. Someone who sees what we have today and already has ideas about where it needs to go.

You’ll work inside a small, high-impact IT organization at a CFTC-regulated commodities exchange and clearing house. The systems you build and operate directly underpin billions of dollars in traded contracts. There is no abstraction layer between you and the work that matters.
