Data Programmer – Extremely Large Datasets – C++/C# – Systematic Trading Firm (High Frequency) recruitment
I am working with a small Systematic Trading firm who are looking for a software engineer to join the firm and become responsible for building and maintaining the proprietary database / Stream Processing systems. This individual will be responsible for collecting and storing the mass amount of data that is acquired by the firm each day and will therefore have experience manipulating large data-sets and will be prepared for a data store that is several terabytes in size.
The successful candidate will be an experienced developer who has a track-record of delivering high-performance applications to business users. The firm is looking for pragmatic individuals who have experience with a variety of different programming languages and understand that different techniques are suitable for different environments. Knowledge of C/C++ and experience within the .Net environment is absolutely essential. In addition, an understanding of computer architecture plus a genuine love of technology (both software and hardware) would be a serious advantage.
This is an extremely exciting opportunity for a talented engineer who understands large data-sets to become an integral member of a small team of successful financiers and financial technologists. The firm has extremely profitable strategies in play and is expanding rapidly from a start-up firm into an established (yet small!) trading outfit.
Candidates must be educated to degree level in Engineering, Computer Science or an equivalent numerate subject. (Statistics/probability or data-related subjects will be extremely well regarded.)
