You’ll join a team of experienced engineers, traders, and hardware specialists building cutting-edge systems that power our trading business. This is a unique opportunity to learn at the intersection of software, hardware, and financial markets, while working on applications where speed, efficiency, and reliability make all the difference. From day one, you’ll benefit from direct mentorship, clear growth paths, and hands-on exposure to the trading floor giving you the chance to see your work in action and quickly develop both technical and industry expertise.

What You’ll Do

What We’re Looking For
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong knowledge of C++ and object-oriented design; familiarity with modern C++ (C++17/20) is a plus.

A Statement on Prior Trading Experience:

With an above average rate of tenure for our engineers, we value individuals who innately strive to push boundaries and pursue constant improvement. Given a long-term focus, the ability to innovate, challenge limits, and deliver lasting impact matters far more to us than prior exposure to the trading ecosystem.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
