Work Culture and Your Role in the Company
This trading firm is all about TECHNOLOGY. Of the 1500
employees, over 1/3rd are technology professionals. My client engages in global electronic trading across the majority of exchanges and asset classes. Many of these trades are races, and the
fastest system wins. These computations are some of the most demanding performance challenges in any industry and we’re willing to use any technologies that will give us an edge. If you have
a background in performance tuning of distributed applications and want the chance to compete against some of the best systems in the world, we’d like to talk to you.
