  • Experience with multithreading, concurrency, and real-time systems
  • Solid understanding of Linux systems and low-level performance optimization

Nice to have:

  • Understanding of market microstructure
  • Knowledge of networking (TCP/UDP) and system-level performance tuning
  • Exposure to hardware acceleration (e.g. FPGA)
  • Experience with Python for tooling or prototyping
