Qualifications
About You
We are seeking intelligent individuals who enjoy tackling challenging problems, even if you have never considered a career in finance before. We prioritize your critical thinking skills and eagerness to learn over your current knowledge. You should possess:
A strong quantitative mindset and critical thinking abilities
A collaborative spirit and enjoyment of teamwork
Proactivity, reliability, and excellent organizational and communication skills
A willingness to ask questions, acknowledge mistakes, and pursue new learning opportunities
While programming experience is beneficial, familiarity with a specific programming language is not a requirement. We view ourselves as a technology company as much as a trading firm, where the success of our trading strategies hinges on the technology that supports them.
