Solid understanding of commodities markets — price risk, mark-to-market, curves, and market data flows;
Experience building or maintaining systems that consume and process market data at scale;
Proficient Python practitioner — you write clean, idiomatic, well-tested code as a matter of habit;
Working knowledge of full-stack development: comfortable across backend services, APIs, and front-end interfaces as needed;
Experienced with cloud-based platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and the engineering practices that go with them — containerization, infrastructure-as-code, managed services;
Fluent in agentic development workflows — you use AI-assisted tooling (e.g. Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) as a natural part of your SDLC, not as a novelty; comfortable with AI-generated code review, test generation, and iterative refinement within a fast-release pipeline;
Comfortable operating in a high-velocity delivery environment with multiple releases per day;
Disciplined about testing, observability, and rollback — you ship fast without being reckless;
Able to take ambiguous, high-level requirements and drive them to completion without hand-holding.
You are direct, low-ego, and focused on outcomes
You push back when something doesn't make sense, and you do it constructively
You take ownership — if something is broken or unclear, you fix it or clarify it rather than waiting for someone else to
You are easy to work with under pressure
You have strong opinions, loosely held
