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 Software Development Manager
Verify your degree aligns with specialty occupation
Software Development Manager roles must qualify as a specialty occupation under the H-1B1 visa framework. Pull the O*NET profile for your job code and confirm it requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a directly related field before applying.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to identify employers who've filed Labor Condition Applications for software management roles. LCA history signals that a company already understands the H-1B1 Singapore process and has infrastructure to support your sponsorship without starting from scratch.
Distinguish management scope from individual contributor roles
Job postings titled Software Development Manager sometimes describe a senior IC role with no direct reports, which can weaken specialty occupation arguments at your consulate interview. Confirm the role involves leading engineers and technical strategy, not just owning a codebase.
Ask employers about LCA timing before accepting offers
Your employer must file and receive a certified LCA from DOL before your consulate appointment. That certification typically takes seven business days. Build this into your start-date negotiation so you aren't scheduling your Singapore interview before the LCA clears.
Cross-check your offered salary against OFLC Wage Search
DOL requires your offered wage to meet the prevailing wage for Software Development Manager roles in your work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search using your job's SOC code before finalizing your offer letter so you catch any wage shortfall before filing begins.
Prepare for nonimmigrant intent questions at your interview
Unlike the H-1B visa, the H-1B1 visa does not allow dual intent. Consular officers will assess your ties to Singapore. Have documentation of ongoing connections, such as property, family, or financial accounts, ready alongside your technical credentials and employment letter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Software Development Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, provided the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as computer science or software engineering. Roles that accept any degree, or that function as general operations management rather than technical leadership, are harder to qualify. USCIS guidance on specialty occupation and the O*NET profile for your specific job code are the two benchmarks consular officers apply.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa differ from the H-1B for a Software Development Manager?
The H-1B1 Singapore visa has no lottery, no USCIS petition requirement, and a separate annual cap of 5,400 that has never been exhausted. You apply directly at the U.S. consulate in Singapore using your employer's certified LCA. The H-1B requires a USCIS-filed I-129 petition and, for most applicants, lottery selection. For Singaporean nationals in software management, the H-1B1 is typically faster and more predictable.
How do I find Software Development Manager employers who sponsor the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Search Migrate Mate to filter for employers with verified H-1B1 Singapore LCA filing history in software and engineering management roles. LCA records are public DOL data, and filtering by occupation code surfaces companies that have sponsored this visa category before, rather than those encountering the process for the first time when you raise it.
What happens to my H-1B1 status if I'm laid off as a Software Development Manager?
The H-1B1 visa does not carry a statutory grace period under federal immigration law the way the H-1B does. Losing your sponsoring employer generally means your authorized stay ends. You'd need to find a new employer willing to file a fresh LCA and support a new consulate application, or depart the U.S. Discussing this risk with your employer before signing is advisable.
Can my spouse work in the U.S. if I'm on an H-1B1 Singapore visa as a Software Development Manager?
Your spouse can accompany you on an H-4 dependent visa, but H-4 status does not include automatic work authorization. Unlike H-4 spouses of H-1B holders with an approved I-140 who may qualify for an EAD, there is no equivalent pathway for H-4 dependents of H-1B1 visa holders. Your spouse would need an independent work visa to be employed in the U.S.
