The Systematic Platform Execution & Exchange Data (SPEED) Team is at the core of Millennium’s Equities, Quant Strategies, and Shared Services Technology organization, powering the firm’s lowest‑latency solutions for systematic and high‑frequency trading. SPEED delivers the live trading and market‑data platforms used by portfolio managers and risk systems, including Latency Critical Trading (LCT), DMA OMS (Client Direct), DMA market data feeds, packet capture (PCAPs), enterprise market data, and intraday data services across latency tiers from sub‑100 nanoseconds to millisecond‑sensitive workflows. By building andoperatingthis execution and data infrastructure, SPEED enables portfolio managers and researchers to compete effectively in the most time‑critical markets.
As a Senior Developer Infrastructure Engineer on SPEED, you will own and evolve the build and CI/CD infrastructure that underpins these mission‑critical systems. By designing scalable build pipelines, shared tooling, and reliable release workflows, you will directly enhance developer productivity and enable fast, safe iteration on some of the firm’s most performance‑sensitive code. This role offers the opportunity to shape core engineering practices while contributing to platforms that are central to Millennium’s trading edge
