Algorithmic Trading Systems Engineer — Execution & Backtesting (Implementation Only)

Please Read Carefully I am hiring an algorithmic trading systems engineer to implement execution and backtesting infrastructure for a trading system. This role is implementation-only. You will not be designing strategies, defining rules, selecting indicators, or working on decision logic. All decision-making happens upstream and is treated as a black box by this role. ⸻ What You Will Be Doing You will be responsible for: • Implementing execution logic that consumes external decision signals • Building or extending a backtesting harness • Handling order simulation / execution flow • Managing event-driven loops • Logging, metrics, and run diagnostics • Ensuring correctness, reliability, and repeatability You will receive: • predefined decision outputs • execution requirements • risk limits at the execution layer You will not see: • the trading ontology • the strategy logic • the decision rules ⸻ What You Will NOT Be Doing This role does not include: • Strategy design • Indicator selection • Parameter tuning • Machine learning • Alpha research • Architecture redesign • Discovery calls If you prefer shaping trading logic, this is not the right role. ⸻ Why This Is a Clean, Efficient Engagement • Scope is fixed • Responsibilities are narrow • Expectations are explicit • No ambiguity or strategy risk This is pure execution engineering, ideal for someone who enjoys building reliable systems without having to invent the logic. ⸻ Technical Expectations • Python (production-grade) • Experience with: • event-driven systems • backtesting frameworks • execution pipelines • asynchronous or concurrent code • Clean, modular engineering style Trading experience is helpful but not required if execution experience is strong. ⸻ Engagement Structure • Fixed-price • Small scope • Short duration • May be split into milestones This posting reflects execution effort only, not full system ownership. ⸻ How to Apply Please include: 1. One example where you implemented execution or backtesting without knowing strategy logic 2. Your fixed-price proposal for this scope 3. Estimated delivery time Proposals assuming strategy or discovery will be declined. Apply tot his job
