Overview

The firm have offices in New York, California, Chicago and Singapore, and focus on ultra high frequency and low latency trading across multiple asset classes. Due to recent developments and innovations in high frequency technology the firm have now got the capabilities of trading across the microsecond space so the focus is on expanding this aspect of their business. They are seeking developers who have had exposure to multi-thread programming, working with large scale data sets, experience building data driven applications with semi-structured or NoSQL solutions and experience with rich API’s or other infrastructure.

The firm is very data driven so exposure to working in a fast paced environment and large scale data sets is highly desirable. In addition some exposure to high performance computing, optimization or multi-threading is preferable.

As the role will have a research focus the ideal candidates should have a strong academic background-ideally within a scientific or analytical field such as computer science, engineering or mathematics.
