Original job description

Software Developer

As a Software Developer reporting to the AVP - Software Development, you'll be part of a growing team in Toronto supporting US exchange operations and our Ocean trading systems beyond regular business hours - helping extend our capabilities 23 hours a day, 5 days a week.

You'll thrive in this role if you're hands-on, technically sharp, and energized by working in a fast-paced environment where the software you build and support runs at the heart of global trading infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and deliver secure software solutions for a tokenized trading system supporting live US exchange operations.

Own the full software delivery lifecycle - from development through testing, production deployment, monitoring, and ongoing support.

Debug, maintain, and enhance existing applications to improve performance, reliability, and scalability.

Ensure software compatibility across platforms and environments, including Linux-based systems.

Collaborate with global teams to analyze business and system requirements, define technical designs, and contribute to system improvements.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

3–10 years of hands-on software development experience, with strong proficiency in Core Java (OOP).

Solid working knowledge of Linux operating systems, including command-line tools, log analysis, and application or process troubleshooting.

Practical experience with Perl, Shell scripting, or Python to automate tasks and support software development or production operations.

Experience with software testing and debugging, including unit and integration testing, root-cause analysis, and diagnosing application performance issues.

Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to explain technical designs, document issues and resolutions, and collaborate across global teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with relational databases, particularly MySQL, including writing SQL queries and working with relational data models.

Experience in financial services technology, particularly trading systems, equities, derivatives, capital markets, or market surveillance.

Familiarity with AWS or other cloud platforms, along with experience using open-source development tools and libraries.

This position is located in Toronto, Canada and offers the opportunity for a hybrid work environment at least 3 days a week in-office, subject to change, providing flexibility and accessibility for qualified candidates.

This role may also require rotational weekend support coverage in line with extended market hours operations.

This posting is for an existing vacancy within Nasdaq.

Come as You Are

Nasdaq is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and identities.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where diverse perspectives, experiences, and identities are valued and celebrated.

We ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodation throughout the hiring process.

What We Offer

We’re proud to offer a competitive rewards package that is meaningful, recognizes the unique needs of our employees and their families and incentivizes employees for their contribution to Nasdaq’s overall success.

The base pay range for this role is $86,000 - $118,000. In addition to base salary, Nasdaq provides a generous annual bonus/commission (short-term incentive), and equity (long-term incentive), comprehensive benefits, and opportunity for growth. Exact compensation may vary based on several job-related factors that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to: skill set, experience, education/training, business needs and market demands.
