Markets & Trading Systems
Trading Tech Maintenance & On-Call. Scoped, shipped, signed off.
We focus on on-call for trading infra without hero engineers. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos. No account-manager layer.
The desk needs visibility into trading tech maintenance & on-call, and the fix isn't another generic agency retainer. We scope to 6-8 weeks for paper/shadow environment, using C++ and FIX protocol in your stack where it makes sense. Weekly demos and a written cut line for what ships now versus later.
Shadow mode should run longer than most teams want. That's the point.
We won't take PnL share deals. We bill for engineering only.
