The system is built with a modular architecture encompassing core components such as market data feeds, order gateways, execution algorithms, risk engines, UI dashboards, middle office reconciliation, and account infrastructure. We emphasize event-driven, deterministic system design, real-time observability, and strong security. Our tech stack includes Java (low-latency), Python, Web UI (React/Ag-Grid), Aeron, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD tooling, with a strong focus on automation, scalability, and performance. AI-assisted development tools are also leveraged to boost productivity and quality across the team.
