    • Design and implement scalable storage and processing systems for equities, futures, options, and other market and risk data.
    • Develop and enhance backtesting infrastructure to support complex research workflows and large-scale simulations.
    • Build and maintain risk, PnL, and portfolio analytics systems used for monitoring and evaluating trading strategies.
    • Develop GUIs, visualization tools, and developer-facing applications that improve researcher and trader productivity.
    • Optimize system performance, scalability, and reliability across data, analytics, and research infrastructure.
    • Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers and portfolio managers to translate research ideas across volatility strategies, futures or equities teams into robust, production-grade solutions.
