New York, NY  ·  Data Enginer & Trading App Support

I build and run data pipelines end to end — ingestion, orchestration, transformation, and the infrastructure underneath. Transitioning into a new role currently, supporting Voice and Electronic trading platforms and their underlying infrastructure at Cantor Fitzgerald; nights are spent on a homelab that has become its own engineering practice.

I'm looking for data engineering roles closer to the pipeline and platform layer, particularly in high-volume or real-time environments. If that sounds like your team — or you just want to talk shop about self-hosting — get in touch.
