Software Engineer, Core Data

Aquatic was founded with a shared passion for tackling some of the most complex challenges in one of the world’s most competitive arenas—global financial markets. From the very beginning, we have been driven by a deep commitment to applying cutting-edge scientific research and technological innovation to deliver unparalleled performance. Our journey is one of continuous growth and exploration, marked by a spirit of curiosity and relentless drive for excellence.

At Aquatic, we are actively recruiting for a Software Engineer to join our Core Data team. Core Data owns the data systems that our research and trading depend on, from real-time market data to alternative data and reference data, and we are expanding those systems as the firm enters new markets around the world. While all team members work across our entire platform, this position seeks to expand our expertise in “market-by-order” feed handling across global markets as a key skillset.

You will partner with colleagues across Research, Engineering, and Trading Operations. The team is lean, highly autonomous, and the work is hands-on and close to the business. Your efforts will have a visible impact across the entire firm.

Role Details Implement and enhance market data feed handlers for proprietary equities protocols (ITCH, GTP, PITCH, and others), along with the data processes around them. Build and maintain quant-ready data archives that researchers can trust for correctness, completeness, and consistency. Collaborate
