Why this grade This listing scored 70/100, which is a B. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

(NYC, Hybrid) · Software Engineer, Quality / SDET (Flexible/U.S. Remote)| Full-Time
We’re a Series B trading technology company reimagining how financial markets match buyers and sellers -- applying auction theory and innovative technologies to build fairer, more efficient trading infrastructure. Our production systems are written in Rust and execute billions of dollars in securities transactions daily. If you want to work on genuinely hard problems at the intersection of markets, mechanism design, and distributed systems, we’d love to talk.
We’re hiring engineering talent companywide, with a current emphasis on these two roles:
Engineering Manager, Data Platform -- Lead and grow our data engineering team while staying close to the code. You’ll own the roadmap for the pipelines, data services, orchestration, and platform infrastructure that power our analytics, and contribute to production systems alongside your team. 8+ years of software or data engineering experience, 2+ managing engineers. Strong Python, SQL, Rust, and TypeScript. Experience with workflow orchestration (Temporal, Airflow, Dagster or similar) and columnar formats (Parquet, Arrow). Financial markets or exchange experience a strong plus. NYC-based, hybrid.
ESTIMATED COMPENSATION: $180,000--$250,000 depending on experience, with eligibility for a discretionary annual bonus.
Software Engineer, Quality (SDET) -- Build the quality engineering function from the ground up. You’ll design and own automated test frameworks, CI/CD integrations, staging environments, and validation tooling that help engineers ship with confidence. Proficiency in a systems-level language (Rust, C++, Go, or Java) and Python required. Experience in low-latency or performance-sensitive environments a strong plus. Flexible/U.S. remote.
ESTIMATED COMPENSATION: $150,000--$200,000 depending on experience, with eligibility for a discretionary annual bonus.
