About Us
Trillions of dollars move through the OTC derivatives market every day on infrastructure that hasn’t meaningfully evolved in decades. We’re building the next generation platform for institutional financial markets.
Our team comes from trading, quant, and engineering roles at top-tier financial institutions, where we built and operated some of the most advanced systems in the industry. Today, we’re focused on creating modern infrastructure capable of processing the most complex transactions across global markets—built with a clean UX, a modern cloud stack, and an AI-native architecture.
Our clients include leading banks, hedge funds, and asset managers. The problems are deeply technical, the scale is enormous, and the systems we’re building will shape how this market operates for years to come.
Tech Stack
You’ll take meaningful ownership of the UI layer, helping define and deliver a best-in-class user experience for institutional finance users. This is a hands-on role focused on building highly interactive, data-dense interfaces, influencing frontend architecture, and scaling a growing codebase.
This role offers real ownership—not just tickets—with the ability to shape technical direction, introduce best practices, and grow toward technical leadership.
