In short, we need the best technologists to develop, optimise and support our systems and tools. With 12 datacenters and thousands of servers we run ten thousands of trading components executing hundred thousands of trades every day.

You keep an eye on our ongoing activities, answering questions and troubleshooting issues as they arise. You work together with traders, researchers, software engineers and other systems engineers on daily basis. Together you constantly question the status quo; see whether what we are doing makes sense. And if not, you find ways to improve our processes and make it happen.
