You will be the first line of defense when the inevitable happens, and the subject matter expert on recent changes to the production trading platform.

Responsibilities include handling order flow from HRT’s trading desks, responding to external market alerts and outages, and interfacing with exchanges & other external parties to support trading. The team’s scope covers everything from systems infrastructure, to compliance, risk management, overnight clearing, and performance improvement. 

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative discipline (CS, Engineering, Physics, Math, etc.)
  • Strong working knowledge of Linux systems
  • Ability to identify areas for platform improvement in a complex technical environment 
  • You can take difficult projects that involve coordination with multiple parties (internal and external), and bring them to fruition
  • Excellent communication & prioritization skills
  • Experience with a scripting language (Python, Perl, Bash)
  • You are skeptical by nature and have a high attention to detail
  • You respond well to working under high pressure scenarios
  • Strong understanding of on-exchange and off-exchange / OTC products
