Software Developer - Options - Experienced Hire

Technology is what makes SIG’s trading desks successful. Smarter, faster code makes the difference between winning or losing on the most competitive markets in the world. Every day our teams of traders and developers work together to push our proprietary trading systems to the edge of what is physically possible.

We are looking for outstanding developers to join our team of motivated and exceptional technologists, working together with Traders and Quantitative researchers to deliver solutions to the desk. You will learn from smart and experienced developers how to implement solutions for new trading ideas and to extend and optimise existing ones.

You will typically start working with a well-established codebase to enhance existing trading systems and tools and help evolve new ones and we have heaps of Exchange and performance data for you to chew on using our high-performance clusters. Over time we are likely to rely on you to help us build entirely new trading strategies for the existing markets we trade and new markets we’re always looking to.

Your success is our success and we’ll be there to guide your development and make sure you’ll keep on learning.
