Employer job description
From Intercontinental Exchange's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Job Purpose
Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is hiring a Senior Performance Engineer to help own performance for our derivatives trading platform — order entry, matching engine, and market data distribution. These are latency-sensitive, business-critical systems where a regression measured in microseconds is a business event.
You will join a small, established performance engineering team. We are hiring a senior engineer to take direct ownership of a substantial share of the platform's performance work. This is not a support seat — you will run campaigns and own conclusions from day one, with an experienced team around you.
The role spans the full performance lifecycle: designing and running test campaigns, profiling pre-production code to surface bottlenecks before release, and diagnosing degradation in production. It is hands-on and deeply technical, suited to an engineer who is equally comfortable profiling a JVM under load, reading a flame graph, and explaining a latency regression to a development team in terms they can act on.
You will use AI tooling to accelerate test design, result analysis, and incident diagnosis — while remaining personally accountable for measurement quality and for every technical conclusion you present.
