Engineering at BitMEX
BitMEX's platform is built to deliver low latency, deep liquidity, and maximum availability for cryptocurrency derivatives traders. The core of the platform is the Trading Engine, responsible for order management, risk management, position keeping, PNL calculations, market data distribution, order matching, and settlement. This trading engine was built using kdb+, a technology frequently employed by major banks for high-frequency trading. Engineers at BitMEX focus on enhancing security, efficiency, and scalability of deposit, custody, and withdrawal systems, integrating new cryptocurrencies and blockchain networks into the infrastructure. The company also employs an automated trading engine and a trading bot for instant and continuous quoting in the market. The web front-end is built with React.JS, optimized for performance, requiring intimate knowledge of JavaScript and its performance characteristics. BitMEX maintains a 100% cold wallet custody system with multi-signature technology for user assets, with real-time withdrawals handled by hot wallets.
