Overview:
We're looking for a business focused staff developer with a thirst for trading, investment research, and portfolio management. This role is designed for someone who wants to grow into a senior engineer and make a significant impact on the business users they serve.
The Need:
Our company is at a pivotal point where integrating advanced technology with our trading and research operations is essential. We have more work than people so senior management has approved an additional hire. For a highly competent staff level developer, this job will significantly elevate your personal and professional lifestyle.
Your Impact:
You'll immediately contribute to our trading and research technology strategy. You'll collaborate with architects, heads of various trading groups, and even interns to drive key projects. Your role will involve designing and refining technology solutions that support our business needs, managing legacy systems, and integrating new technologies.
Key Responsibilities:
Problem Solving: Address various business needs within the trading and research domains, building and enhancing applications for calculations, data ingestion, and reporting.
Collaboration: Work closely with architects, interns, and heads of various business and trading groups to deliver impactful projects.
Technical Environment:
Primary Stack: Proficiency in Microsoft technologies, including C#, .Net Core, and SQL Server.
Frontend: Experience with React is a plus.
Legacy Systems: A willingness to work with some legacy VB.Net is essential, as there are a few minor systems that are critical to our trading business.
Backend Development: Some projects require backend development in Python.
Adaptability: Ability to work with both modern and legacy systems, ensuring they support our business needs effectively.
First Year Goals:
Make a significant impact by successfully managing and completing key projects.
Performance Metrics: Be evaluated on your ability to drive business outcomes through effective technology solutions.
Growth Potential:
Learning and Development: Gain extensive knowledge in capital markets, buy-side hedge funds, and trading strategies.
Career Advancement: Grow into a senior role with architect responsibilities, positioning yourself as a key contributor to the organization’s technological and business strategies.
What We’re Looking For:
Business-First Mindset: This role is ideal for someone who prioritizes business needs over purely technical lab work.
Eager Learner: A keen interest in capital markets and a desire to deeply understand hedge funds and trading environments.
Hands-On Experience: 4-8 years of relevant experience, with a proven track record of delivering technology solutions in a business-centric role.
What We’re NOT Looking For:
Overqualified Candidates: This position is not suitable for individuals who have already reached architect or team leadership roles.
The team culture is collaborative, yet with high expectations in tempo, attitude, personalities, and backgrounds, fostering an environment where innovative ideas and teamwork thrive.
Our vision is to seamlessly integrate technology with our trading and research functions to drive business success. If you are dedicating your a career in capital markets, buy-side hedge funds, and trading environments, and if you thrive in a business-first, technology-second role, we would love to hear from you.
