#424Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; also Downtown LA, California) We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too. Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency,…
Any explanation on why you're moving away from Erlang to C++? Curious about the tradeoffs you're making with that decision.
Our exchange team have promised to do a writeup on the technical and design tradeoffs with regards to the language transition. I'll prod them a bit, and maybe we shall have a properly exhaustive post on this in near future.
The TL;DR is fairly simple, though:
* availability of talent
* memory model suitability
As far as I have been let to understand, Erlang's shared-nothing model works quite well for a trading client. (As long as cross-market/cross-contract correlations are within reasonable limits.) In our case, it doesn't do as well as a trading exchange runtime. When you have more than 100k limit-order books across tens of thousands of contract groups (or "markets"), rapid updates to a lot of them become quite expensive.You probably could design a robust sharding strategy to handle that, but then again, that takes a very specific kind of talent. Considering the first point above...

#430Stacker lets people build apps without code on a modular app platform. We want to change the way software is built and make it available to everyone.
That's a pretty big task, and we've got some pretty exciting problems:
If you're a FRONTEND ENGINEER, come and talk to us about how we're building an app runtime that lets you specify an entire app in a bunch of JSON config and have it run as a real-time single page app.
If you're a PRODUCT MANAGER, get in touch and we can chat about how we're taking the features common across all web apps and turning them into installable modules that work seamlessly together.
If you're a PRODUCT DESIGNER, tell us how you'd go about creating not just one design system, but a design-system system to allow our users to build apps that are beautiful by default, but be customisable to the finest level.
If you like PINA COLADA and getting CAUGHT IN THE RAIN, then get in touch anyway.

We're a fully remote team, Europe+Africa timezones only please. We believe in radical transparency, being good people and making a dent in the universe.
Apply at https://stacker.app/jobs or email jobs@stacker.app. Again, Europe+Africa timezones only PLEASE. :)
