From the original posting
The team
Bitnomial is building the next generation US-based global derivatives exchange, starting with digital assets and progressively expanding to encompass a full spectrum of commodities worldwide. Bitnomial operates a US CFTC regulated exchange (DCM), clearinghouse (DCO), and brokerage (FCM). It offers a range of crypto-settled derivatives, including futures, options, and a suite of live perpetual futures, used by brokers, hedge funds, institutions, and trading firms around the world.
Bitnomial's exchange, clearinghouse, and brokerage systems are written largely in Haskell. In this role you will build the services and data models that record every order, fill, and settlement at a CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse, with the database as a first-class part of the design. You will build features across these systems and design the schema, queries, and migrations behind them.
The opportunity
Improve build and release pipelines in GitHub Actions: caching, parallelism, pinned toolchains, and required tests and scans before production
Manage AWS infrastructure as code with Terraform, and run services as containers on Nomad
Build deployment tooling with health checks and automated rollback, and make deploys safe around market sessions
Add metrics and alerts to the services you build, so you can see whether a deploy worked
Monitor systems, respond to alerts, and support daily operations such as settlement cycles
Fix the cause of production issues and write down what you learned
Build, test, and ship well-reviewed features and fixes in our services across the exchange, clearinghouse, and brokerage. Most of the code is Haskell
Understand the order, trade, clearing, and settlement flows end to end
What you bring
Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
Production experience with AWS and Docker, and infrastructure as code with Terraform
Strong Linux and scripting skills (Bash, Python, or similar)
3+ years of professional software engineering experience with a functional or strongly typed programming language such as Haskell, Rust, or C++
Solid computer science fundamentals, including distributed systems: failure modes, retries and idempotency, consistency, and how to observe them across services
Willingness to take part in on-call and operational shifts
Care and rigor with code that moves money
Good judgment with AI tools. You use them to work faster, and you read, test, and understand what they produce before you ship it
A habit of asking why before changing something
Sound judgment under pressure, with a calm and methodical approach when production is live
Collaboration across engineering, operations, risk, and compliance, with a habit of documenting
Nice to haves
Financial knowledge or experience in trading, markets, or financial services
Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience
Experience with Nomad or Kubernetes
Experience with Nix, Ansible, Vault, or Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki
Haskell experience
