About Geneva Trading
Geneva Trading is a proprietary trading firm focused on high-frequency and algorithmic trading across global markets.
Execution matters, but it is only one part of the edge. A lot of what we do depends on the quality of the data behind the trading, research, analytics, monitoring, and post-trade workflows. If the data is late, wrong, incomplete, or hard to use, people feel it quickly.
This team owns that problem.
The Role
We are looking for a Data Engineering Manager to own our market data platforms and analytical data systems.
This is not a pure people-management role. You will manage a small team, but you will also be expected to write production code, review designs, debug systems, and stay close to the technical details. We are looking for someone who still wants to build and who can lead by being in the work with the team.
The core responsibility is to make sure our market data is captured, normalized, stored, and delivered correctly. The challenge is doing that across multiple venues, data sources, protocols, consumers, and performance requirements.
Trading systems, researchers, analysts, and monitoring tools all depend on this data. The person in this role needs to understand that reliability, correctness, and recoverability matter as much as speed.
New Opportunity
The way we use data is changing.
Historically, our market data platforms were built mainly for two types of consumers: trading systems that need fast and reliable access, and people doing research or analysis. We now have a third type of consumer emerging: AI-driven tools, models, and agents.
That changes some of the requirements. These systems need clean structure, good metadata, lineage, context, and access patterns that are not always the same as a human writing a query. They may search across data differently, ask questions differently, and generate query volumes that are very different from normal human usage.
We are not expecting someone to show up with all of this solved. We are also not looking for someone to simply bolt an AI interface onto an existing database. We want someone who understands where data platforms are going and can make practical engineering decisions now so the platform is ready for both human and machine-driven use.
