The Opportunity.

Trumid is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join our Data & Intelligence team and build the next generation of the real-time data platform that powers Trumid’s pricing algorithms and machine learning systems.

Our pricing infrastructure relies on low-latency, event-driven data pipelines that deliver market and operational data to production algorithms with sub-second latency. These systems directly support Trumid’s Fair Value Model Pricing (FVMP) and other core data products used across the platform.

While this role focuses primarily on real-time streaming infrastructure and distributed data systems that support production algorithms, it will also include occasional contributions to the batch workloads that the team supports for both research and reporting use cases.

This position is U.S.-based, with remote or hybrid options available. Candidates located in the New York City area are preferred.

The Tech Stack.

Python, SQL, streaming systems such as Kafka and Flink, and cloud-based distributed data infrastructure. We rely heavily on AI-powered IDEs and agentic workflows for development. 

What You'll Build.

• Distributed streaming systems that ingest market data and operational events and deliver structured inputs to ML models and pricing algorithms with sub-second latency
• Infrastructure for onboarding new market data sources, enabling rapid evaluation and integration into pricing models
• Data pipelines to support multiple research environments and model backtest frameworks

Key Responsibilities.

• Lead the architecture and development of streaming data pipelines that deliver market and operational data to pricing algorithms with sub-second latency, relying on  technologies such as Kafka and Flink
• Define architectural standards for real-time data delivery, reliability, and observability
• Ensure production SLAs are met for systems that directly impact pricing and trading workflows
• Collaborate with quantitative researchers, data scientists, and engineers to deliver reliable data inputs for modeling and backtesting
• Mentor engineers on best practices for distributed data systems and production-grade data pipelines
• Contribute to the broader data platform, including batch pipelines and data modeling workflows when needed

About you.

• 5+ years building production data infrastructure or backend systems
• Strong programming skills in Python and SQL
• Experience designing or operating streaming or event-driven data pipelines (Kafka, Flink, or similar systems)
• Experience working with distributed systems or real-time data processing
• Experience operating production systems in cloud environments
• Strong understanding of system reliability, monitoring, and failure handling
• Ability to collaborate with engineers, quantitative researchers, and data scientists to deliver reliable data infrastructure

You enjoy building high-performance distributed systems and operating production infrastructure where latency, reliability, and operational stability are critical.

We are hiring for multiple roles and levels on this team. Candidates whose experience aligns more closely with another level may be considered for that role during the interview process.

Employee benefits.

• Highly competitive compensation
• Fully paid medical, dental and vision coverage
• Team-oriented and collaborative company culture
