If you’ve never thought about a career in finance, you’re in good company. Many of us were in the same position before working here. We’re looking for smart people who enjoy solving interesting problems, and we’re more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know. You should be:
- A critical thinker with a strong quantitative mind
- A collaborative problem-solver who enjoys working on a team
- Proactive, reliable, and courteous with strong organizational and communication skills
- Eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, and learn new things
A profitable trading strategy is only as strong as the technology it runs on, and we consider ourselves as much a technology company as a trading firm. General programming experience is a plus, but knowing a particular programming language is not required.
If you’d like to learn more, you can read about our interview process and meet some of the team.
