Responsibilities
Develop and optimise end-to-end ETL pipelines for market and alternative data
Ensure data quality, timeliness, integrity, lineage, and cataloguing across the central platform
Design, maintain and support highly available systems used by global research and trading teams
Lead onboarding of new vendor and internal data sources, acting as a technical partner to quants, traders and ops
Operate initially as a senior IC and gradually take on responsibility for engineers and elements of global data strategy
Own pipeline design decisions — including trade-offs between latency, reliability, and downstream usability
Qualification
Required
Proven ability to build clean, well-designed data pipelines (architecture + rationale)
Market data focus — not generic analytics / BI pipelines
Strong ETL experience (imperative)
Derivatives exposure across asset classes (rates, FX, etc.)
Strong understanding of data lineage
Strong understanding of normalisation
Strong understanding of downstream consumers (research, trading, risk)
Ideal background blend: ~2 years sell-side + ~2 years buy-side (but strong sell-side or vendor profiles are considered if they've built real systems)
Strong judgement around how market data is used — not just how it's moved
Benefits
Hybrid working model: typically 4 days in the New York office and 1 day WFH, with some flexibility.
Highly competitive and flexible compensation for strong profiles.
A culture that encourages internal mobility, upskilling and progression into lead roles.
