你的角色：
你的工作是构建 Alpaca 的算法交易平台，满足用户对经纪服务高质量和高性能的期望。这个机会类似于早期加入 AWS 或 Heroku，通过在小型团队中扮演多种角色来设计和架构我们的平台。作为一名经验丰富的工程师，你将编写大量代码，并就如何为客户提供最佳体验做出关键决策。这显然需要深入理解前端和后端、数据库和分布式系统，以及从低级到高级的 CPU 硬件方面的广泛经验，包括高吞吐量、稳健的并发系统设计、高可用性的抽象分布式系统架构，以及考虑到长期增长的对象导向数据建模。加入一家早期阶段的初创公司，你将获得丰厚的回报。

Your Role:
Your job is to build Alpaca's algo trading platform to satisfy our users who expect high quality and performance from their brokerage service. This opportunity is similar to joining AWS or Heroku in their early days, designing and architecting our platform by wearing many different hats in our small team. As an experienced engineer, you will write tons of code and make critical decisions about delivering the best experience to our customers. This certainly requires deep knowledge in both frontend and backend, databases and distributed systems, as well as broad experience from low to high level in CPU-level hardware for high throughput, robust concurrency system design, abstract distributed system architecture for high availability and object-oriented data modeling with long term growth in mind. Joining an early stage startup, the payoff to this highly demanding environment will be worth the effort.

- Strong, experienced software engineer with lead experience is preferred
- Coding skills in both low and high level languages around C/C++, Go, Zig, Rust, Java, Scala, Python
- Low latency and high throughput optimization
- Experience with messaging queues and message brokers
- Analytical data-oriented mindset and skills
- Knowledge of algorithms, distributed systems, scalability, high availability, databases, low latency systems and concurrency control
- System design skills with object-oriented data modeling, service-oriented architectures, system abstraction
- Experience with the development and implementation of Order Management systems (OMS) and Risk Management systems (RMS)
Who You Might Be (Nice-to-Haves):
- Algo trading experience (either professional or personal)
- FIX protocol knowledge
- Experience with observability, tracing, continuous profiling and benchmarking
- Financial market (exchange, broker-dealers, clearing, etc.) knowledge
- Experience with financial ledgers
- Statistical and quantitative analysis skills
