Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Skalický is a Lead Software Engineer based in Prague with 11 years of experience specializing in low-latency electronic trading and connectivity to financial exchanges. He leads teams building automated trading algorithms and resilient infrastructure, favoring automation to remove repetitive work and improve operational reliability. His background spans major banking environments (Barclays, Absa) and consultancy engagements, giving him deep domain knowledge of market-facing systems and production constraints. A pragmatic generalist, he learns many technologies to extract concepts and broader system insight rather than for their own sake. Outside work he prioritizes faith and family, which shapes a steady, values-driven leadership style. Colleagues describe him as curious, deliberately lazy about repetition (so he automates), and skilled at turning complex trading requirements into maintainable code.
