New York Currently hiring
Software Engineer, Trading & Research Tools
Diversified global trading firm
Newly created team building infrastructure and tooling directly for traders and quantitative researchers.
What does a trading and research tools software engineer actually build at a proprietary trading firm?
Joining a newly formed team responsible for designing and building the internal tools and infrastructure that traders and quant researchers rely on day to day, meaning strong visibility into how the tools you build get used immediately.
Do I need a finance background to build internal tools for traders and quant researchers?
Not a strict requirement, engineering fundamentals and the ability to work closely with non-engineering stakeholders (traders and researchers) matter more.
What's the compensation like for an internal tools engineering role at a proprietary trading firm?
Base salary plus bonus and other benefits, in line with market rate for this firm and role type.
What's the culture like at a firm that trades its own capital?
Built around autonomy and ownership, the firm trades its own capital and places emphasis on being able to pivot quickly, engineers are expected to challenge consensus rather than defer to hierarchy.
