Regulated broker-dealer and clearing platform for digital asset trading
Prometheum operates a registered broker-dealer and alternative trading system (ATS) connecting traditional finance to crypto markets. The infrastructure is built on containerized, infrastructure-as-code foundations (Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD) with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) — a pattern typical of mission-critical financial systems. Active hiring spans engineering, finance, ops, and security with a heavy weighting toward senior and manager roles, reflecting operational complexity around clearing, settlement, and compliance systems rather than product iteration.
Prometheum Inc. bridges traditional broker-dealer infrastructure with digital asset trading, operating both an ATS and a clearing firm. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in New York. The product architecture spans custody, clearing, settlement, and trading systems, with active projects across compliance integration, post-trade reconciliation, and clearing operations scaling. The organization is privately held with 51–200 employees and is actively hiring to expand engineering capacity and strengthen finance, operations, and security functions.
Prometheum runs on AWS with Kubernetes orchestration, Terraform/Terragrunt for infrastructure, ArgoCD for deployment, and Prometheus/Grafana/Datadog for monitoring. Backend services use Python, Go, Rust, and TypeScript; collaboration tools include Slack, Jira, and Confluence.
Prometheum is building a full-service digital asset securities clearing firm, including clearing product design, custody systems, post-trade settlement, compliance automation, and multi-system blockchain product testing infrastructure.
