Tech Driven Algorithmic Trading Firm
London
New Listing
The Firm
This is an algorithmic trading firm that actively trades tens of thousands of instruments on over eighty venues with a daily volume of almost three hundred billion USD. They partner with counterparties, exchanges, and e-trading venues globally to provide consistent liquidity in the Equity, FX, Fixed Income, Commodity & Options markets, helping market participants throughout the world obtain the best prices in the various asset classes covered.
Leveraging the talent of the people who work there, modern computational techniques and state-of-the-art research infrastructure, they analyse large data sets across markets quickly and efficiently, to maximise the effectiveness of proprietary trading algorithms. The models that drive trading strategies have evolved considerably over the last 10 years, from econometric methods, to trees, to neural networks, to modern deep learning architectures. They actively seek new methods and ideas.
At this firm, technology is their business and they’re a diverse organisation which attracts outstanding talent from across all industry backgrounds. Focused on teamwork, colleagues collaborate on all aspects of the business, working openly and with respect for each other, clients and the market. The culture is non-hierarchical and one where everyone is valued. They strive for excellence in everything they do.
The Role
Seeking an experienced software engineer to lead a new Data Engineering group. You will be responsible for building a new system for processing and managing daily data that is used throughout the firm including corporate actions, fundamentals, and index membership data.
They’re not trying to collect hundreds of alternative data sources; instead, the focus is on collating the data that is most critical to the firm, both now and as the business evolves, and ensuring that there is a singular, clean, easy to access and well-integrated repository of these data. As the owner of the firm’s daily data, you will be expected to anticipate the needs of the business and ensure the normalised data schema is minimal yet sufficient.
As with all technical leadership roles at this company, you can expect the majority of your role to be engineering rather than pastoral management of a team.

Tech Driven Algorithmic Fund
London
Posted 1 Mth Ago
Fantastic opportunity for talented programmers at one of the world’s top algorithmic trading firms in their London office. They make the world’s markets more financially efficient using smart algorithms. To get the job done, they hire some of the smartest computer scientists in the world to develop both their low latency trading platform and their massive distributed research platform.
Algo Software Engineers (AE) are programmers that are embedded in the trading teams and work hand-in-hand with Algo Strategy Developers (AD). Whereas ADs tend to use their math skills to make smarter strategies, AEs focus on the software that powers trading and research. Because of this close collaboration, AEs tend to be the type of engineers that thrive on constant interaction and discussion. Hearing how their most recently deployed system allowed for whole new types of research would make their week. AEs are the type of engineers that don’t mind juggling a few projects at once and have a varied portfolio of project types, from long-term ambitious new systems to fire-fighting live issues.
This environment is particularly well-suited to driven, self-motivated programmers. For one, the company’s Partners are all programmers. Team Leads spend a majority of their time doing technical work. Algo teams run on a very bottom-up approach that encourages everyone on the teams to come up with ideas and dictate the direction of each team together. Finally, there is very little emphasis placed on project management process (almost no meetings and no project managers) and there is a lot of emphasis placed on engineering process, such as automated testing, design/code reviews, and technical training.
This is a Linux/Unix shop with a codebase written primarily in C++ and Python. If you are not a C++ or Python or Linux expert, that’s probably OK. They care more about your technical fundamentals, practical experience and that intense desire to make things better for other people. That being said, they want someone who is familiar with a non-scripting language such as C++ or Java.
Here are a few examples of programmers who are currently AEs:
Culture:
This fund brings a scientific approach to trading financial products. They’ve built one of the world’s most sophisticated computing environments for research and development, and their researchers are at the forefront of innovation in the world of algorithmic trading.
Colleagues come from all sorts of backgrounds: mathematics, computer science, statistics, physics, and engineering. A community of self-starters who are motivated by the excitement of being at the cutting edge of automated trading, and their culture celebrates great ideas whether they come from veterans or new hires.
Seem like something you might be interested in? The goal is to find the best people and bring them together to do great work in a place where everyone is valued. They’re proud of their diverse staff; with offices all over the globe they benefit from varied and unique perspectives.
This is an equal opportunity employer; so whoever you are they’d love to get to know you.

The Technology
Core systems are almost all running on Windows and most of the code is in .NET (C#). The first data storage is in SQL Server and they’re starting to use ArcticDb for the largest datasets. Part of the work is also in Linux with Python code, using pandas and other libraries to support visualization and data processing.
The platform inherits from old tools and services, so they use many old technologies (Remoting, MSMQ, WCF, Winforms, WPF) while migrating to new tools (.NET Core 8, Kafka, REST APIs, React, Arrow Flight). Devops is based on Bitbucket and Teamcity (Jenkins for the Python stack), using Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection. Parts of the services are being moved into Docker for containerisation and Kubernetes for container orchestration. The technology list is never static: they constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.
Working Here
This fund has a small company, no-attitude feel. It is flat structured, open, transparent and collaborative, and you will have plenty of opportunity to have enormous impact on the firm. They are actively engaged with the broader technology community.

For storage, they rely heavily on MongoDB. They use Docker, Kubernetes and Airflow to streamline deployments and leverage OpenFin and React for front-end development.
