• Maintain comprehensive audit trails for trading signals, orders, broker responses and execution events.

AWS Infrastructure & Deployment:

• Develop and deploy backend services on AWS using services such as ECS, EKS, Lambda, SQS/SNS, RDS, IAM and CloudWatch.
• Use Redis for order state, caching, messaging and distributed coordination.
• Work with PostgreSQL, ensuring data consistency, transaction integrity and robust schema design.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Build and maintain Docker-based deployment workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

Mandatory Skills:

• 5 years of experience in backend software engineering.
• Strong hands-on expertise in Python (asyncio, FastAPI).
• Experience in fintech, brokerage, or trading technology.
• Hands-on experience integrating with broker or exchange APIs.
• Proven experience designing distributed, event-driven systems.
• Production experience with Redis and PostgreSQL.
• Strong AWS experience and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Docker).
