You will take an instant impact on various development projects, working closely with the traders and quants to develop innovative solutions using C++.

Your business exposure will be huge and you will quickly be expected to become well versed in all financial terminology and products (for this a mathematical background could be useful). The team is ideally looking for a passionate and motivated technologist, somebody who codes for fun and enjoys learning about new languages.
Your role will heavily focus on risk, analytics and pricing and for this you will need to be a strong problem solver. You will report to the head quant on the desk and work alongside some highly experienced computer scientists, mathematicians and physicists in an environment which is friendly, collaborative and challenging..
