About the role

Chicago Trading Company is seeking a hands-on engineering leader in Chicago to direct a small team of engineers while maintaining involvement in code. You will own the developer loop end-to-end, including the build graph, remote caching and execution, test policy, and CI pipelines, and drive consolidation of codebases into Bazel in a monorepo. You will bring deep experience with C++, Java, and Python builds, and be adept with Bazel or similar systems, migrating large codebases to a monorepo.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
