Trading Platform Engineer
InCommodities US
Austin, TX 78701RemoteFrom $150,000 a yearFull Time
Job Description
*At InCommodities, we’re redefining how data and technology drive algorithmic energy trading.*
As we continue our rapid expansion in North America, we’re building an independent US trading platform from the ground up – and this role is central to making that happen.
This is where you come in. You’ll design and build a production-grade Python framework that integrates closely with our .NET trading services. That framework will form the backbone of our quantitative strategies, and you’ll use it hands-on to develop trading algorithms together with quants and traders.
It’s a role for a software engineer who cares deeply about clean architecture, API design, and real-time systems – and who’s curious about learning quantitative finance while building production infrastructure that directly impacts how we trade energy. You won’t just support trading – you’ll help shape how it’s done.
*What you’ll do*
* You design and build a production-grade Python framework that integrates with our .NET trading services via REST and gRPC APIs, supporting real-time data, execution logic, and backtesting
* You develop reusable libraries for pricing, risk calculations, backtesting, and execution strategies that scale across teams
* You build and maintain trading algorithms using the framework you’ve created, working closely with quants and traders to turn ideas into production code
* You ensure reliability through testing, monitoring, robust error handling, and failover mechanisms for continuous trading operations
* You collaborate with platform engineers to define service contracts, data schemas, and integration patterns across Python and .NET
* You build in monitoring and data quality checks to detect and resolve issues before they hit PnL
* You document APIs, frameworks, and integration patterns so others can build fast and build right
* You learn quantitative finance and gas trading concepts to understand the market context behind the code
*Your Team*
You’ll be part of a cross-functional setup spanning trading, quantitative research, and platform engineering. It’s a flat, decentralized environment where trust and ownership matter. You’ll work closely with people who know their markets and their craft – and who expect the same from you. Decisions are made close to the action, and good ideas travel fast.
*What you bring*
* You hold a BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a similar quantitative field
* You bring 3+ years of experience building production systems in Python, with a strong grasp of software architecture and clean code
* You have experience designing APIs, frameworks, or client libraries that other developers rely on
* You’re comfortable working with REST and/or gRPC, including authentication, async patterns, retries, and error handling
* You work with modern engineering practices like testing, code reviews, CI/CD, and version control
* You’re confident working with SQL databases and care about data integrity and performance
* You’ve used Python data and numerical libraries (pandas, numpy) and are comfortable with time-series data
* You’re curious about quantitative finance and trading, and motivated to learn pricing, risk, and market mechanics
* You’re located in Stamford, CT, Austin, TX, or willing to relocate.
_Bonus points if you’ve worked with algorithmic trading frameworks, real-time or event-driven systems, or have exposure to .NET-based platforms or quantitative modeling._
*How you work*
* You take ownership and move things forward with a strong bias toward action
* You communicate complex technical topics clearly to both engineers and traders
* You’re curious, eager to learn, and comfortable stepping into new domains
* You thrive in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment with high autonomy
* You collaborate openly and play for the team across disciplines
*What you can expect from us:*
You’ll join with a steep learning curve supported by a thorough onboarding program that sets you up for success from day one. From there, you’ll enjoy a high level of autonomy, working alongside exceptional colleagues who are bold, honest, ambitious, and among the smartest in their fields. Our culture is unique—we live our values of Honesty, Transparency, and Rethink, and we do it without rigid hierarchies or dress codes. Along the way, you’ll take part in great events, both within your team and across the organization, and you’ll have the chance to grow on both a professional and personal level.
*Benefits:*
* Flexible working hours and hybrid work schedule
* Medical, Dental, Vision, STD, LTD, Life insurance, all with employer contributions
* 401k with employer matching
* Parental leave including paid and unpaid options
* Generous PTO policy and paid holidays
* Monthly Door Dash allowance and snacks and drinks at the office
* Internet and optional cellphone reimbursement
* Access to office gym (Austin location)
*About InCommodities – North America *
We’re InCommodities North America – and we’re building the full energy trading value chain across US power and gas.
We’ve been trading power in US markets since 2020. Now we’re scaling up – expanding into gas, growing our local teams, and opening new offices across the US.
What sets us apart is our EnergyTech edge. We combine deep market expertise with advanced technology, quantitative models, and a data-driven mindset to trade smarter, faster, and at scale. That’s how we move energy where it’s needed, 24/7/365 – and why we attract ambitious people who want to rethink the future of energy trading.
Our culture is simple: entrepreneurial, flat, and hands-on. You’ll get autonomy and trust from day one – and the responsibility to make an impact. We value initiative over titles, thrive in change, and back each other in building one of the most ambitious energy trading companies in North America - with the strength of a global platform behind us.
*Our culture*
At InCommodities, we win as a team. You’ll work alongside bold, honest, and ambitious people who challenge each other to grow – and get better every day.
Autonomy is real here, and it comes with trust. You’re expected to take ownership and make decisions that move InCommodities forward. Not by asking for permission, but by working with the right people to get it right. You’ve got freedom – and a strong team to back you up.
We care about personal and cultural fit. Not because we expect everyone to be the same, but because we’re building a place where people genuinely enjoy working – and want to stick around.
Expect a casual vibe. We keep a flat hierarchy, no dress code, and no corporate red tape to slow you down. Just trust, teamwork, and a healthy dose of fun along the way. And yes, we like to hang out outside office hours as well.
