Add safeguards that prevent dangerous states and trigger corrective actions automatically
Write performance-conscious code where correctness and predictability matter
Debug, maintain, and improve systems that are always live and business-critical
Work closely with other engineers and traders to turn high-level requirements into reliable trading software
