As a Staff Software Engineer at Topstep, you will join the Events team and play a pivotal role in shaping the distributed systems that power our trader experience. You will help define and evolve the event-driven architecture that serves as the communication backbone across our platforms, ensuring reliability, scalability, and clarity as our ecosystem grows. You’ll work across architecture, execution, and product to lead complex, cross-team initiatives from concept to delivery. You’ll define scalable engineering patterns, guide long-term technical direction, and raise the bar for code quality, operational excellence, and team collaboration.
