About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers who build and operate our trading platform.
Own the reliability, throughput, latency, and correctness of systems that execute real trades, in real time, with real money on the line.
Own the team's roadmap, partner with product and engineering to build the core components their plans depend on, and maintain the technical priorities that keep our core services healthy.
Partner directly with the technical teams at the exchanges, with asset managers, and with regulators across Egypt and the UAE, and help us bring that same connectivity to Saudi Arabia.
Maintain and evolve our in-house oms and back-office across markets as we scale into new geographies, and build more advanced trading functionalities.
Set technical direction alongside our staff engineers, raise the bar on quality and operational excellence, and keep the team unblocked and moving.
Balance hands-on technical depth with people leadership, staying close enough to the architecture to make good calls while giving the team the room to do their best work.

What you’ll need

A strong technical foundation in distributed systems.

Familiarity with our stack, or the confidence to get there quickly: C#, .NET Core, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Python.
