Collaborating closely with traders and technologists to communicate insights and implement improvements

Testing early-stage technologies, collaborating with research institutions, and validating real-world applicability

Why Join Us:

Rapid feedback loops mean your code can impact production within a day. You'll also enjoy a balance of serious problem-solving and fun—whether in technical challenges or team activities.

About You:

  • You're strong in at least two of the following: Linux internals, networking, or computer architecture
  • You have commercial programming experience in Python or Java
  • You enjoy reverse engineering, scripting, and uncovering low-level system behavior
  • You thrive in fast, feedback-rich environments and are eager to learn

Bring your passion for performance, your curiosity for complexity, and your drive to push systems to their limits—let's reengineer the speed of global markets together.
