Execution Algo Developer

5 months ago

London, United Kingdom Man Group Full time

The Role

As an Execution Developer at Man you will be building the tools, platforms and algorithms that enable Man’s investment engines - AHL, Numeric and our Discretionary teams - to drive forward their centralised global trading operation. This includes internal algorithmic execution in Futures and FX, systematic routing of Global Equity as well as enabling access to liquidity in almost every other asset class.

This role is part of a significant investment within our Equity execution capability. The project is to build a best-in-class low latency algorithmic trading platform initially focussed on the equity markets. As a new initiative, there are many opportunities to make a difference and gain valuable experience within the world of algorithmic trading. The project will encompass both the research framework and the market facing services, necessitating deep interaction and collaboration with both our Trading Desk and the Execution Research team.

The project is planned to include development of new execution algorithms, the platforms on which they run, simulation environments, connectivity to execution venues and brokers, monitoring capability, post-trade performance analysis and software to optimise all aspects of the algorithmic trading lifecycle.

We are looking to hire talented software engineers across the experience spectrum. Experience with algorithm development or depth in understanding of equity markets will be an advantage.

The Team

The team is currently undergoing significant investment in order to rationalise the trading capability across AHL, Numeric and the Discretionary teams. The engineering team works exceptionally closely with both the Trading Desk and the Execution Research team in order to design, build and maintain a world-class trading capability. We have trading floors in London, Hong Kong, Boston and New York and are responsible for trading in excess of 5 trillion dollars annually.

We are continually expanding the markets, asset classes and regions in which we trade as well as the styles in which we trade them. The team is responsible for designing imaginative and flexible software and tools to keep pace with this change.

Our Technology

Our systems are almost all running on Linux and most of our code is in Java, with some Python and TypeScript. We use Kafka and Aeron as well as Bitbucket for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, Docker for containerisation, OpenStack for our private cloud, Ansible for architecture automation, and Slack for internal communication. But our technology list is never static, we constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.

Working Here

Man Tech has a small company, no-attitude feel. It is flat structured, open, transparent and collaborative, and you will have plenty of opportunity to grow and have enormous impact on what we do. We are actively engaged with the broader technology community.

We host and sponsor London’s PyData and Machine Learning Meetups We open-source some of our technology including parts of our Data Platform. See We regularly talk at leading industry conferences, and tweet about relevant technology and how we’re using it. See

We offer flexible working, competitive compensation, a generous holiday allowance, health and other benefits. We are also committed to continuous learning and development via coaching, mentoring, conference attendance and sponsoring academic and professional qualifications.
