Nuveaux is on a mission to re-imagine how exchanges work from first principles and deliver fair order execution to the masses. We’re building a robust, high-throughput, low-latency exchange so our customers can stop worrying about the idiosyncrasies of the exchange and instead focus on which trade to make.

Founded by customer-obsessed engineers and researchers, we seize every opportunity to tackle technical challenges—from designing next-gen UI/UX for interfacing with our exchange to scaling our services to support all kinds of financial instruments.

Our team is small and incredibly strong. We’re looking for exceptional people who are excited to work hard on challenging and impactful problems in a fast-paced environment. Depending on your interests, you might work on the matching engine, trading APIs, or market data feeds.

Qualifications

• Desire to build the future of finance from first principles

• This is an on-site role at our office in NYC. We aren’t hiring remote at this time

• Experience in a systems programming language such as C, C++, Go, Rust

• Care deeply about code quality and performance. We release code only when it’s truly ready, not just when it passes unit tests

• Strong communication and collaboration skills. We value teamwork and prefer working with talented contributors over working solo

• Bias towards building demos and proof of concepts over drafting lengthy technical documents

• What about minimum experience or education? If you are smart and talented, how you became so does not matter

Bonus Points

• Experience with Go (most of Nuveaux is written in Go)

• Understanding of consensus protocols (Viewstamped Replication, Raft, Paxos)

• Understanding of how to build multi-tenant, large-scale distributed systems

• Record of shipping high-quality products and leading large-scale projects

• Open-source contributions or published work
