About the role
Build and evolve Alva’s production-grade trading engine, including event-driven backtesting, strategy runtime, and paper-trading systems. Implement reliable live-trading pipelines and broker or exchange integrations, ensuring correct order handling, state consistency, and resilience to execution edge cases. Candidates should have experience building or working on production trading systems and understand real-world failure modes beyond backtesting. They should be strong systems engineers who prioritize correctness and end-to-end reasoning, and be fluent in using AI coding tools; experience with trading frameworks, integrations, distributed systems, or Python, Go, or Rust is a plus.
