Senior / Staff Software Engineer — Algorithmic Execution Platform
Clear Street, Chicago, New York City +2
The role
This is a core infrastructure role on a small, focused team, based hybrid (4 days in office) out of New York, NY or Lisle, IL. You will be one of the foundational engineers shaping and building our new execution platform — a low-latency, C++-based system with client-facing FIX connectivity, institutional-grade risk controls, and deep integration across U.S. exchanges and dark venues.
- Client-facing FIX gateway — design and harden the FIX acceptor that serves as the primary inbound order entry point for institutional clients; own the full order lifecycle including order entry, fills, ACKs, rejects, and outbound sequencing
