&lt;li&gt;Partner with engineers, product, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver market data capabilities.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Familiarity with venue/exchange connectivity and market data protocols (FIX, ITCH/OUCH, multicast).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Track record delivering features end-to-end and operating what you build.&lt;/li&gt;
