About the Role
Join the company as we build the next generation US-based global derivatives exchange, starting with digital assets and progressively expanding to a full spectrum of commodities worldwide. We operate a US CFTC regulated exchange (DCM), clearinghouse (DCO), and brokerage (FCM). Our platform offers a range of crypto-settled derivatives, including futures, options, and live perpetual futures, catering to brokers, hedge funds, institutions, and trading firms globally. In this role, you will work predominantly with Haskell to develop services and data models that track every order, fill, and settlement at a CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse. Your responsibilities will include designing the database schema, queries, and migrations required for these systems.
