NumTrade - Financial Systems Engineering and Applied Research

Engineering lifecycle

From proof to systems built for scale.

NumTrade carries each system from a focused proof of concept into production, then evolves it as demand grows. We retain responsibility for its architecture, release path, operational performance and technical debt throughout its life.

01

Proof & foundations

We validate the premise with a focused proof of concept, then define the domain model, interfaces, security boundaries and production architecture.

02

Production engineering

Applications, APIs, market services and research systems move through review, automated testing and staged release into production environments we manage and observe.

03

Scale & stewardship

As demand grows, we evolve capacity, latency, resilience and recovery while strengthening security, preserving auditability and managing technical debt.

Technology practice

A specialist stack selected for each system.

Across NumTrade, we own our deployment and release path, selecting technologies for latency, safety, determinism, operational clarity and maintainability rather than novelty.

RHEL, FreeBSD, OpenBSD & AWS

Security & operating systems

We deploy on RHEL and FreeBSD, run OpenBSD across the organisation and keep cloud infrastructure on AWS, with our own deployment strategies over CI/CD and lifelong accountability for what we ship.

XRP, Ethereum, Bitcoin & TRON

Blockchain & settlement

We build decentralised payment systems, wallet services and APIs that interact with each chain through its published SDK, including TRON USDT.

Python & R

Quantitative research

Python develops quantitative models and gathers global market data; R carries statistical research through to implementation, which then feeds our low-latency work.

Go, Rust & C++

Low-latency services

We build APIs, event-driven services and gRPC interfaces across applications, holding high availability on minimal compute and network resources.

Haskell & OCaml

Functional programming

Haskell for blockchain work, including Cardano, and OCaml for financial and blockchain products where a functional core is worth the discipline.

TypeScript, Node.js, PHP, Django, C# & Swift

Clients & interfaces

We wire our APIs into web, desktop and macOS clients, and into terminal and GUI applications across platforms, down to window managers such as cwm and fvwm on OpenBSD.

Operating model

Product ownership, defined scope and clear boundaries.

Bayesrock Holdings provides capital and stewardship. NumTrade owns and operates its products and develops technology solely for selected Bayesrock-backed ventures. Each venture retains its own governance and terms. Our engineering and research activities do not constitute an offer of regulated financial services.
