Thndr - Tech Lead
Requirements
• A track record of leading engineering teams, growing the people on them, and shipping reliable software in production that is used by large numbers of users. • A strong technical foundation in distributed systems. • Comfort being close to the code and the architecture, even if you are not writing it day to day. • Familiarity with our stack, or the confidence to get there quickly: C#, .NET Core, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Python. • A high bar for correctness and operational discipline. You understand what it means to run a system where a mistake has real consequences for real people. • A clear, candid communicator who can hold their own with engineers, regulators, and senior leadership alike. • Experience in fintech, brokerage, trading, or another regulated, high-stakes domain. • Experience operating hybrid infrastructure. Ours runs on-prem in Egypt and on AWS in the UAE.
Responsibilities
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers who build and operate our trading platform. • Own the reliability, throughput, latency, and correctness of systems that execute real trades, in real time, with real money on the line. • Own the team's roadmap, partner with product and engineering to build the core components their plans depend on, and maintain the technical priorities that keep our core services healthy. • Partner directly with the technical teams at the exchanges, with asset managers, and with regulators across Egypt and the UAE, and help us bring that same connectivity to Saudi Arabia. • Maintain and evolve our in-house oms and back-office across markets as we scale into new geographies, and build more advanced trading functionalities. • Set technical direction alongside our staff engineers, raise the bar on quality and operational excellence, and keep the team unblocked and moving. • Balance hands-on technical depth with people leadership, staying close enough to the architecture to make good calls while giving the team the room to do their best work.
