Compensation

£115K – £145K · Offers Equity

Forecite is the trading intelligence platform engineered for scale. We capture, analyze, and act on market-moving news, SEC filings, and sentiment signals in real time — and our Verdict Engine scores every headline for the traders who move first.

We hire builders who thrive on complex technical challenges, hold themselves to a high bar, and genuinely care about the people who use what they build. The team brings sharp judgement, real craft, and the drive to do exceptional work.

If you want to do the best work of your career, this is the right place.

About the role

You will own the pipelines that move market-moving news from source to subscriber in under 50 milliseconds. That means designing ingestion for SEC filings, wire services, and exchange notices, and keeping the whole path observable and replayable.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design of our low-latency ingestion pipelines, from edge scrapers to the WebSocket fan-out.
  • Set the technical direction for a small team of data engineers.
  • Own per-event telemetry: every headline should be traceable from source to verdict.
  • Work with Quant Research to keep training corpora clean and reproducible.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years building data-intensive systems in production.
  • Deep comfort with Postgres and streaming architectures.
  • You measure things before and after you change them.
  • Experience with financial market data is a plus, not a must.
