Software Engineer

An HFT Prop Trading firm that's building out their first office in the US. A well known entity out in Europe, looking to make a presence in New York City! The team has already begun building out the trading divisions and plan to wrap up research/ trading hiring by the end of May/ early June. Post that, the entire focus will be on the software buildout, which will focus on securing strong talent in the C++ community. The plan is to replicate the success they've had in Europe and start from scratch.
