Why Join Us:

  1. Work directly alongsidetraders and researchers who use the technology you build.

  3. Work across trading systems, data infrastructure, analytics, risk, and strategy tooling.
  4. Enjoy rapid feedback loops that allow ideas to move quickly from concept to production.
  5. Use a diverse technology stack rather than being restricted to one language or framework.

About You:

  1. Energized by ambiguous problems where the solution has not yet been defined.
  2. Comfortable moving between programming languages and technologies.
