This role will best suit a young, energetic and hungry C++ developer who is frustrated by his or her existing projects and the trading barriers between technology and P/L. This is a small team where everyone's efforts and talents are highly visible and rewarded. Exposure to all aspects of the trading operation, learning and growth is expected of you and not just based on chance.
