• Spearhead and manage company-wide projects to develop new business lines and increase operational efficiency.
• Lead others in debugging of complicated engineering and operational problems.
Development is agile and fast paced. As requirements evolve you will leverage the best of the community, sometimes substituting your own solutions where greater performance is needed. You will be encouraged to evangelise and prototype new technologies and through doing so you will help shape the architecture.
The Head of Software Engineering Must Have:
• Strong knowledge of algorithms and data structures.
• Degree in Computer Science or a STEM Subject
• Strong knowledge of equities and derivatives markets.
• Strong background in C++.
• Strong experience in automated testing, unit testing.
• Very familiar with open source software (evaluation/procurement, licensing issues).
