  • Knowledge of FastAPI and Pandas for data handling and API development.
  • Understanding of multithreading and asyncio for high-performance computing.
  • Cloud development experience, preferably with AWS.
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) for deploying scalable applications.


Preferred Experience

  • Prior exposure to financial services, ideally within a front-office risk or trading context.
