A start-up hedge fund are looking to hire a Java developer to join their outfit. The venture is fully backed, and no further initial investment is being sought, but they require a Java expert to construct their high-frequency trading system. The successful candidate will join what will initially be a small team, and as such will play a vital and varied role within the company. Initially they will be building an entirely greenfield high-frequency trading system, and must be comfortable in the entire development lifecycle - working with quants, developing greenfield code, familiarising with new asset classes, and deploying live trading systems. They will have had a good, broad development and systems exposure, ideally in addition to experience of working closely with a high-frequency trading desk.
Essential requirements:
• Expert Java - excellent core understanding and low-level programming experience
• Experience of low-latency systems
• Performance profiling/optimisation
• Test-driven development
Desirable experience:
• Strong C++
• Front office/trading, algorithmic trading experience
• Good knowledge of various asset classes
• UNIX system administration and shell scripting
• FIX, fast FIX decoders
The company is keen to recruit an extremely talented individual looking for the chance to stretch themselves and demonstrate their abilities in an environment where they can make a real difference to their business. The opportunities are huge for the right individual, and this should be an extremely interesting opportunity for any aspirational Java developer.
