Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate will have significant experience working in a fast-paced, engineering-first organization

- Experience with compiled languages (strongly preferring Golang) for 2+ years
- Working knowledge of Postgres or other SQL database ORMs
- Impact-oriented mindset, driving projects to success within Moment and beyond
- Commitment to maintaining high standards for self and others when working with production systems
- Open communication skills, including asking questions, assuming good intentions, and prioritizing transparency
- Rigorous and empathetic approach, thriving in a collaborative and high-performance environment
- Prior experience working at startups or small product-oriented teams
- Experience with distributed systems in an AWS-focused cloud architecture for 1+ years
- Experience with Kafka or other stream-based messaging queues for 1+ years
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) for 1+ years, or strong willingness to learn
- A fintech background is preferred, but not required
What the job involves
- We are looking for talented software engineers to join our team as early engineers
- You will be working alongside some of the brightest people in the industry to build the next generation of well-designed, robust, and scalable systems
- Our team has a strong engineering culture and believes in delivering beautiful and functional experiences to our customers
- Our current tech stack is Go, Python, Postgres, Kafka, Redis, Datadog, and AWS
- Design, build, and maintain core Data & Market Connectivity Team services that directly power our best-in-class data product and trading systems
- Lead the design, implementation, and deployment of robust distributed services, striking the appropriate balance between reliability, throughput, latency, resiliency, engineering velocity, and cost
- Provide valuable feedback and insight on the design and implementation of new features, products, or infrastructure components
- Contribute to the evolution of our tech stack as we scale our product
- Assist in building a world-class team by participating in hiring and mentoring new team members
- Desire and ability to design, plan, and implement projects from day one
Our take
Fixed income securities are investments that provide a steady interest income stream for a certain period. Their appeal is clear, but the infrastructure for navigating the market has historically been fragmented, opaque and highly manual - which is what Moment sets out to fix.
Moment is a modern take on fixed income infrastructure. Through a set of institutional-grade APIs, its clients can navigate the quickly evolving fixed income markets much easier, with functions including automated execution, risk management tools, and powerful analytics.
Collectively, Moment's APIs already power fixed income investing for firms representing upwards of $100 billion in assets, and it has evidently made good strides towards its goal to transform fixed income into a modern financial market. Recent funding secured from Andreessen Horowitz, among others, will support the expansion of operations and further development efforts.
