  2. Market Microstructure Expertise: Domain expert in the market microstructure of cash equities. Knowledge of liquid futures market structure is a bonus.
  3. Development Skills: Significant hands-on development experience in event-driven, real-time trading processes. Proficiency in C++ is preferred. If using Java, must demonstrate techniques that maximize runtime performance; proficiency with techniques that cover best-in-class software-based latency; experience with FPGA a plus but not required.
  4. Trade & Market Data: Reasonable amount of experience with understanding and coding trade and market data.
  5. Leadership: Experience as a hands-on development lead, mentoring and guiding junior developers.
  6. Education: Bachelors or Masters degree in CS, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Biochemistry, applied math, or statistics.
  7. Technical Skills: Strong programming skills in C++ or Java, with a focus on event-driven real-time trading processes.
  8. Analytical Skills: Excellent quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and develop actionable insights.
  9. Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  10. Problem-Solving: Proven ability to solve complex problems and think critically in high-pressure situations.
  11. Team Player: Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment, collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Millennium pays a total compensation package which includes a base salary, discretionary performance bonus, and a comprehensive benefits package.
