ABOUT SPIDERROCK TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS LLC
SpiderRock Technology Solutions LLC is the parent company of SpiderRock EXS LLC, SpiderRock Platform Services LLC, SpiderRock Gateway LLC, SpiderRock Platform Services UK Ltd, and SpiderRock EXS B.V. Together, these SpiderRock entities create and deploy some of the most innovative trading and risk management solutions, routing logic, as well as data and analytics services for global derivatives. Clients of SpiderRock are large asset managers, proprietary trading firms, bank trading desks, and other institutional clients located around the world.
We're looking for a sharp, technically deep SDET to own quality across our trading systems — from order execution engines to real-time risk analytics. You'll work alongside quants, traders, and engineers to ensure our platform behaves correctly under normal conditions and at the edge cases that matter most in live markets. As AI becomes core to how we trade and operate, you'll also help us test and validate the models and pipelines that power it.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Develop end-to-end, integration, and unit test suites covering options pricing models (Black-Scholes, binomial trees), order lifecycle, and P&L calculations
- Test and validate AI/ML models used in signal generation, volatility forecasting, and trade execution — including drift detection, model regression, and output boundary testing
- Build evaluation harnesses for LLM-powered tools used internally (e.g., trade summarization, risk Q&A, alert triage) to assess accuracy, hallucination rates, and latency
- Simulate realistic market scenarios including high-volatility events, expiry dates, and corporate actions to stress-test system behavior
- Validate FIX protocol messaging, OMS/EMS integrations, and exchange connectivity (CBOE, ISE, etc.)
- Collaborate with quants to write test cases that verify Greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta) and pricing accuracy under various market conditions
- Build performance and load testing harnesses to validate sub-millisecond latency requirements
- Design data quality pipelines to validate training data, feature stores, and model inputs for correctness and consistency
- Participate in code reviews and advocate for testability in system design
- Own CI/CD pipeline quality gates, including ML model promotion gates (shadow mode, A/B, champion/challenger)
- Investigate production incidents and translate findings into regression tests
WHAT SPIDERROCK IS LOOKING FOR
- 4+ years of SDET or QA Engineering experience, with at least 2 years in financial services or trading systems
- Proficiency in Python and/or Java/C++ for test automation
- Strong understanding of options trading concepts — calls/puts, expiry, strike, Greeks, volatility surfaces
- Experience testing real-time, event-driven systems (Kafka, FIX, WebSockets)
- Hands-on with test frameworks: pytest, JUnit, TestNG, or equivalent
- Familiarity with ML concepts — model training, inference, overfitting, feature importance, and evaluation metrics (precision, recall, AUC)
- Experience testing ML pipelines end-to-end: data ingestion feature engineering model output downstream consumption
- Solid fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems
- Familiarity with SQL and time-series databases (kdb+, InfluxDB, TimescaleDB)
- Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)
- Ability to read and reason about quantitative models and pricing logic
- Experience writing LLM evaluation frameworks — prompt regression testing, output scoring, and consistency checks across model versions
- Familiarity with MLflow, Weights & Biases, or SageMaker for model lifecycle tracking and test integration
- Knowledge of AI governance and model risk management frameworks (SR 11-7 or equivalent) relevant to financial institutions
- Experience with market simulators or exchange emulators
- Knowledge of regulatory requirements (FINRA, SEC, CFTC) and audit trail testing including AI-assisted decision logging
- Exposure to co-location or FPGA-based trading infrastructure
- Familiarity with chaos engineering and fault injection testing
- Prior experience with kdb+/q for tick data validation
- Contributions to open-source testing or ML evaluation tools
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Learn while doing
- Highly competitive pay, benefits and bonus structure
- 5 days ON-SITE for first 6 months, transition to hybrid model (3 days on-site, 2 days remote)
- Health insurance (medical, dental, vision)

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Development Engineer
Verify your degree field matches the role
H-1B1 Singapore requires your position to qualify as a specialty occupation. For Development Engineer roles, confirm your degree is in engineering, computer science, or a directly related field, since a general science degree may prompt additional consular scrutiny.
Search employer LCA filings on Migrate Mate
Pull verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing history by occupation code on Migrate Mate to identify which companies have sponsored Development Engineer roles before, so you're targeting employers who already understand the H-1B1 visa process.
Check prevailing wage before salary negotiations
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage meeting the DOL prevailing wage for your specific job zone and location. Use the OFLC Wage Search before your offer conversation so you know the floor and can negotiate from an informed position.
Distinguish your role from excluded R&D categories
Some Development Engineer positions overlap with pure research roles that consular officers scrutinize more closely for specialty occupation status. Pull the O*NET occupation profile for your exact job title and confirm that applied engineering duties, not basic research, define the role.
Confirm your employer can file the LCA promptly
DOL must certify your LCA before you can schedule your consular appointment. Ask the hiring manager whether their legal team has filed H-1B1 Singapore LCAs before, since first-time filers sometimes underestimate the seven-business-day DOL processing window and delay your start date.
Prepare a clear nonimmigrant intent statement
H-1B1 Singapore does not allow dual intent, so consular officers will ask about your ties to Singapore and your post-assignment plans. Prepare a concise statement covering your Singaporean connections before your interview to address this directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Development Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Singapore?
Yes, if the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a directly related field. Roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field can fail the specialty occupation test. Check the O*NET profile for your specific job title to confirm the degree requirement is field-specific before your employer files the LCA.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to H-1B for Development Engineer jobs?
H-1B1 Singapore has no lottery and no USCIS petition requirement, which means you can start the process after receiving a job offer without waiting for an annual lottery window. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 Singapore does not allow dual intent, so you can't use it as a stepping stone to a green card the way some H-1B holders do. For Singaporean nationals, the faster and more predictable timeline is usually the deciding factor.
How do I find Development Engineer employers who already sponsor H-1B1 Singapore visas?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing history, so you can see which companies have filed for Development Engineer roles under H-1B1 Singapore. Targeting employers with prior LCA filings significantly reduces the risk of a sponsorship process breaking down because the company is unfamiliar with the requirements.
Can my H-1B1 Singapore status be renewed if my Development Engineer contract extends?
H-1B1 Singapore is granted in two-year increments with no statutory limit on renewals, so you can extend as long as you maintain a qualifying job offer and your employer files a new LCA each cycle. Unlike H-1B, renewals do not require a new USCIS petition, but you will need to return to a consulate for a new visa stamp if your current stamp expires.
What should I do if my employer has never filed an H-1B1 Singapore LCA before?
Ask their legal or HR team to confirm they can meet the DOL's seven-business-day LCA certification window. First-time filers sometimes miss that the LCA must be certified before your consular appointment can be scheduled, which can delay your start date by weeks. USCIS and DOL both publish guidance on the process, and sharing that with your employer's counsel early avoids last-minute complications.
