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.

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.

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. Having a real point of view on this matters for the role.

What Success Looks Like This is a deep stack, so we do not expect someone to master everything immediately. A rough first-year path would look like this: In the first 90 days, you understand the main parts of the data stack, the people who depend on it, and the biggest pain points. You have shipped improvements to at least one real pipeline, not just reviewed documents or attended meetings.

By six months, you are helping steer the roadmap for market data infrastructure. You have improved reliability, performance, observability, or recoverability in a way we can measure. The team is relying on you in code reviews, design reviews, and production decisions.

By the end of the first year, you own the platform end to end, from ingestion through delivery. People across trading, research, and technology know to come to you for market data platform questions.
