This is an opportunity with a global high frequency trading firm who is a leader in the algorithmic trading space with offices in New York, London, San Francisco and Singapore. They trade across asset classes and in a variety of global markets.
Their globally distributed core platform is written in C++ running on Linux and trading strategies are deployed within the firm’s data centres as well as co-location sites. They are looking to scale the platform to take on extra capacity and expand into new asset classes and geographies so as a developer you will be working on a lot of Greenfield projects. The firm emphasizes excellent technology as the key to their success. Frameworks for automated trading algorithms, data management and analysis, position management, middle office & surveillance, and ultra-low latency market connectivity are all built and maintained in-house.
The firm prides itself on hiring the top technical talent in the market; they are made up of a renowned team of technologists, researchers and traders from leading academic and commercial backgrounds. They’re a company that likes to empower people to take ownership and evolve the technology into the future. They’re an agile firm with a very flat organisational structure. They don’t have specific teams, so there is the opportunity to contribute across the firm, get involved in different projects, and make a real impact.
