We are passionately dedicated to developing world-class, cutting edge technology and employ one of the fastest trading platforms in existence.

This is by design--we look for candidates who thrive in a deeply entrepreneurial culture that combines the creative freedom of a career in academia with the focus and financial promise of succeeding in the hyper-competitive arena of high frequency trading. While we value working hard, we emphasize working smart. Many of our associates have families, and we believe that a work/life balance leads to greater creativity and effective output.

Our requirements are the following:

• Highly qualified PhD graduates from top programs in Math, Physics, CS, EE

• Interpersonal skills and ability to communicate effectively are essential

• Experience in the financial industry is NOT a requirement and we welcome candidates who have had no exposure to finance whatsoever

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to begin a career in trading and gain exposure

to quantitative and high frequency investment strategies.

We offer the following:

• Excellent compensation, with tremendous long-term earnings potential.

• Ability to learn about the cutting edge of alternative investment strategies, including participation in seminars, and sponsorship for industry certifications.
