This is a founding engineering leadership role on a greenfield product in a domain where correctness is not negotiable: orders, positions, and money must be right every time, under latency and market-hours pressure. You will hire the team, set the technical direction, and own delivery of a platform that handles real customer capital.\nWhat you'll do\nBuild and lead the trading engineering team from the ground up: hire, mentor, and grow engineers, and set the bar for a domain where a bug is a financial loss, not a ticket.\nOwn the technical strategy and architecture for the trading platform: order lifecycle and execution, market data ingestion and distribution, positions and portfolio, settlement and reconciliation.\nDrive broker, exchange, and market data integrations, and the connectivity decisions that come with them.\nOwn reliability and correctness under market conditions: latency budgets, capacity for open and close and volatility spikes, idempotency, and reconciliation that proves the books are right.\nPartner with product, compliance, risk, and finance so regulatory, KYC, AML, and audit requirements are designed in rather than retrofitted.\nEstablish the engineering practices this domain demands: rigorous testing, controlled release, incident response, and audit-grade observability across the order path.\nRequirements\nWhat you'll bring\n8+ years in software engineering with 3+ years leading engineering teams, including hiring and growing engineers.\nDirect experience building or operating online stock trading, brokerage, or capital markets systems. This is a hard requirement: you have shipped order management, execution, market data, or settlement systems in production.\nWorking fluency in the domain: order types and lifecycle, market data feeds, clearing and settlement, corporate actions, and the reconciliation and audit expectations that come with regulated trading.\nStrong hands-on technical judgment to lead architecture reviews and make correctness and latency tradeoffs. Comfortable in a TypeScript, Go, Postgres, and AWS/local private cloud hybrid environments.\nExperience working alongside compliance and risk in a regulated financial product.\nThe judgment to move fast on a greenfield product without compromising the correctness and controls the domain requires.\nNice to have\nExperience launching a retail trading or investing product from zero.\nExposure to FIX protocol or exchange and broker connectivity.\nMENA or emerging-market financial services experience, including market entry and local regulatory context.\nBenefits\nImmediate, large-scale impact on a high-growth business\nTop-of-the-market compensation packages\nWork alongside top regional talent, with team members from Talabat, Careem, Etisalat, and more","description_format":"text","description_chars":2871,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":3,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Arab Emirates","iso":"AE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Egypt","iso":"EG","kind":"country"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital Goods"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-18T00:00:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.572,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":59,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:6","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/digital-zone-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/digital-zone-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T23:57:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6170,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":9375},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=9375"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdigital-zone-engineering-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdigital-zone-engineering-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdigital-zone-engineering-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/digital-zone-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdigital-zone-engineering-manager"}]}
