Job Description

The Salem Group is adding a kdb+/q Developer to support an early-stage buildout inside a global financial organization. Based in New York, NY (onsite), this role centers on designing and operating the real-time and historical market data infrastructure for the fixed income ETF desk and other trading groups, including a migration from OneTick to a kdb+ tick architecture.

In this position, you will architect and extend a production kdb+ stack, build and optimize q applications for data processing and analytics, and work closely with traders and quants to translate desk requirements into reusable, robust q. The work also includes ownership of a fair value and pricing pipeline, plus maintaining feedhandler integrations for multiple market data vendors.

Responsibilities

Architect, extend, and harden the kdb+ tick stack, including tickerplant, RDB, HDB, gateways, and feedhandlers
Develop and optimize kdb+/q applications for real-time processing, analysis, and storage
Lead the migration from OneTick to kdb+, covering data model, historical backfill, feed cutover, user migration, and decommissioning
Maintain and occasionally extend feedhandlers for market data vendors (e.g., Bloomberg B-PIPE, MarketAxess CP+, IHS Markit, LSEG) and internal fair-value feeds
Own the fair value / pricing data pipeline and the analytics built on top of it
Design and operate a multi-terabyte HDB at approximately 100 GB/day, including partitioning, sym management, compression, load balancing, and query performance
Collaborate directly with traders and quants across the ETF desk and other groups for requirements, prototyping, and production analytics, turning desk questions into reliable, reusable q

Requirements

5+ years of production kdb+/q experience in sell-side or buy-side trading infrastructure
Deep understanding of kdb+/q, including the language, memory model, and IPC, with a focus on making systems fast at scale
Strong familiarity with TickerPlant, down to implementation details
Grounded in software development practices: testing, modular design, code review, and documentation
Deep understanding of tick architecture including the TickerPlant/RDB/HDB topology, feedhandlers, gateways, entitlements, and log replay
Strong preference for clean, well-structured, maintainable q code
Exposure to cloud deployment of kdb+ (AWS)
