  • Experience in C++ or other low level programming languages is a plus
  • Demonstrated interest in strategic games and/or competitive activities
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment

What's In It For You

  • Our non-hierarchical culture allows employees of every level to thrive and have an impact. We are not your typical trading firm – the environment is casual, collaborative and we focus on continuous development.
  • Fully stocked kitchen - daily breakfast and lunch.
  • Regular social, sporting, and community events.
  • Visa sponsorship and relocation package where required.
