Quant Developer / Trading Systems Engineer (Live Trading)

Execution / Trading Systems Engineer (Live Bots, DAS Trader)

We run automated US stocks trading strategies through DAS Trader on a fleet of Windows PCs. The bots are in C++ (the DAS API client and strategy code), with Python tooling around them for logs and reporting. They trade live money every US session, premarket included.

We need an engineer who owns the health of this system day to day: watching the bots, reading the logs, finding why something went wrong, and shipping a safe fix. Working hours 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm local time, Monday to Friday. This covers the US premarket and the open, so it's not a standard daytime schedule.

You must be comfortable with this on a permanent basis.

Monitor the live bots through the US premarket, open and close. Catch disconnects, stopped bots, rejected orders, missed entries, and stop-loss or cover-order failures as they happen. Read raw DAS and bot logs to explain exactly why a trade did or didn't happen.

For each incident, write a short root-cause note that shows the log lines behind it. Own the short-locate and borrow logic. That covers double locates, wrong located-share counts, the wait before trying another locate route, and reconnect replays that inflate the count.

Design, test and ship fixes to the bot code. Replay real logs against the patched build before it goes live, and roll out one account at a time. Keep the daily execution reports and trade-log uploads accurate, and fix them when they break.
