Cboe is one of the largest exchange operators in the world and the mission of our technology team is to disrupt the status quo with a relentless focus on innovation that transforms new ideas into realities. Our Software Engineers work on high-performant, reliable systems which run our global exchanges.
Our real-time software engineering team designs, develops, deploys and supports real-time systems. We care deeply about system reliability, testability, recoverability, fault tolerance, throughput, and latency. We measure times in microseconds, sometimes even nanoseconds. Our engineers have a strong understanding of computer science fundamentals and software engineering. We are analytical thinkers. We are always learning our craft. If it's broken, we fix it. If it needs refactoring, we refactor it. If it's hard to test, we make it testable. We like statistics. We love automation. We are pragmatic. We ship code weekly.
