With multiple established offices around the world, the firm is known for its cutting-edge technology and a low attrition rate.No Tech Tests – Just Real Conversations: The process is designed to be a two-way street, with no leetcodes or timed tests.

Passion for Building: You’re excited by the opportunity to build something from the ground up, turning complex research and trading strategies into a robust and scalable platform.Collaborative Spirit: You’ll work closely with the PM day-to-day, shaping not just the technology but the team culture.
