We’ve a more than the decade-old team of slightly more than thirty folks from a variety of backgrounds, spread around the globe. Some have run clusters of thousands of machines at national labs, others have optimized systems to the hilt for distributed databases, contributed to core Python, or skipped college and taught themselves information security. What connects the team is a desire to work on challenging technical problems, keep learning new things, and do so in a collaborative and supportive environment. As a team, we design and support the trading infrastructure and the high-performance computing environment, solving for both latency and parallelism.
