Description & Requirements

Who we are:
We are the engineering team behind the world's largest over-the-counter (OTC) electronic trading (ET) platform encompassing Fixed Income bonds, ETFs, Interest Rate Swaps(IRS) and Credit Default Swaps(CDS). We offer end-to-end trading workflows including price discovery, real-time analytics/pricing, execution and straight through processing (STP), and are fully integrated with the Bloomberg terminal and enterprise solutions.

Our platforms have been at the heart of recent market structure changes, driven by trade automation, portfolio trading, ETFs and regulation. Some of the biggest money managers in the world rely on our platform to manage and execute their portfolios. These clients are actively looking to reduce costs by switching to more automated and efficient ways of trading, and regulators are pushing for more transparency and systemic controls to prevent another financial crisis. This is an exciting time for us as we embark on projects that cater to these needs and leave a lasting impact on financial trading markets.

Stability, availability, low-latency and flexibility are important elements of a successful trading platform, and we strive to build software with these principles in mind. As Engineers, we work on highly transactional, multi-threaded and distributed services with an emphasis on proven development practices. We constantly evaluate new technologies to ensure creative solutions. We take pride in our product and partner closely with business and sales teams to influence product design.

• An opportunity to work on a complete tech stack to deliver client facing products
  
• Using industry standard technologies to build high performance systems
  
• Work in a highly collaborative environment where teamwork is the key to success
  
• An opportunity to learn how the financial markets operate by working closely with product managers and clients
  

You'll need to have:

• 4+ years working with an object-oriented programming language such as C/C++
  
• A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience
  
• Ability to work in a fast paced environment using agile methodologies
  
• An understanding of Computer Science fundamentals such as data structures and algorithms, as well as CI, CD and unit testing
  
• Prior contributions to system design and architecture and scaling fault-tolerant, distributed systems
  
• A strong sense of ownership and the ability to collaborate with multiple teams and stakeholders to drive projects and initiatives.
  

We'd love to see:

• Recent programming experience in C++
  
• Experience with multi-threading and asynchronous event-driven programming
  
• Experience with high volume, high availability distributed systems
  
• Experience working in a UNIX or Linux development environment
  
• Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, and developer productivity tools such as Jenkins and Splunk
  

If this sounds like you:
Apply if you think we're a good match! We'll get in touch with you to let you know what the next steps are.
