Bitnomial operates a US CFTC regulated exchange (DCM), clearinghouse (DCO), and brokerage (FCM). It offers a range of crypto-settled derivatives, including futures, options, and a suite of live perpetual futures, used by brokers, hedge funds, institutions, and trading firms around the world.\nBitnomial's exchange, clearinghouse, and brokerage systems are written largely in Haskell. In this role you will build the services and data models that record every order, fill, and settlement at a CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse, with the database as a first-class part of the design. You will build features across these systems and design the schema, queries, and migrations behind them.\nThe opportunity\nImprove build and release pipelines in GitHub Actions: caching, parallelism, pinned toolchains, and required tests and scans before production\n\nManage AWS infrastructure as code with Terraform, and run services as containers on Nomad\n\nBuild deployment tooling with health checks and automated rollback, and make deploys safe around market sessions\n\nAdd metrics and alerts to the services you build, so you can see whether a deploy worked\n\nMonitor systems, respond to alerts, and support daily operations such as settlement cycles\n\nFix the cause of production issues and write down what you learned\n\nBuild, test, and ship well-reviewed features and fixes in our services across the exchange, clearinghouse, and brokerage. Most of the code is Haskell\n\nUnderstand the order, trade, clearing, and settlement flows end to end\n\nWhat you bring\nHands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI\n\nProduction experience with AWS and Docker, and infrastructure as code with Terraform\n\nStrong Linux and scripting skills (Bash, Python, or similar)\n\n3+ years of professional software engineering experience with a functional or strongly typed programming language such as Haskell, Rust, or C++\n\nSolid computer science fundamentals, including distributed systems: failure modes, retries and idempotency, consistency, and how to observe them across services\n\nWillingness to take part in on-call and operational shifts\n\nCare and rigor with code that moves money\n\nGood judgment with AI tools. You use them to work faster, and you read, test, and understand what they produce before you ship it\n\nA habit of asking why before changing something\n\nSound judgment under pressure, with a calm and methodical approach when production is live\n\nCollaboration across engineering, operations, risk, and compliance, with a habit of documenting\n\nNice to haves\nFinancial knowledge or experience in trading, markets, or financial services\n\nBachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience\n\nExperience with Nomad or Kubernetes\n\nExperience with Nix, Ansible, Vault, or Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki\n\nHaskell experience\n\nUnless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.\nPlease note, applicants are permitted to redact or remove information on their resume that identifies age, date of birth, or dates of attendance at or graduation from an educational institution.\nWe consider qualified applicants with criminal histories for employment on our team, assessing candidates in a manner consistent with the requirements of the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.\nOur commitment\nPayward is powered by people from around the world and we celebrate the diverse talents, backgrounds, contributions, and unique perspectives that everyone brings to the table.
