Graduate Trading DevOps Engineer
Flow Traders is looking for individuals interested in joining our Graduate Trading DevOps team in Hong Kong. The ideal candidate is curious, methodical and a multi-tasker. This is a unique opportunity to join a leading proprietary trading firm with an entrepreneurial and innovative culture at the heart of its business. We value quick-witted, creative minds and challenge them to make full use of their capacities. If you aim high, the sky is the limit!
As a developer in the equity trading team, you'll be working directly with our Traders and Quant Researchers to provide solutions when they are needed - as soon as possible. That means taking a pragmatic approach to software development without cutting corners. We like to get things done and always strive to have working code in production. Trading is an incredibly dynamic and fast-paced environment, the requirements can change in the middle of the project, and you must be ready to adjust.
You will work on tools that generate a lot of business value. Although primarily working in Python, we are a language agnostic team - you might be helping a trader with a gnarly SQL query one day, doing post-trade analytics and monitoring in Python the next, and writing a Kafka Streams topology in Java the day after. We're looking for financial technologists that can think creatively about solutions.
Some of the Technologies we use in the Development Process:
- Python 3
- SQL
- Kafka
- Linux
What You Will Do
- Work closely with Traders and Software Engineers to improve the current trading setup
- Write Python code that will help traders monitor positions, risk, market-data, opportunities and operational performance
- Align requirements, implementation, and standards with global Python engineers
- Automate trader and quant operations, including start-/end-of-day processes and post-trade reporting
- Standardize HK quantitative research tooling and integrate it with global Data Team pipelines
- Maximize the use of internal data systems such as Kafka, Materialize, TimescaleDB and HDFS
- Work closely with other Technology teams to ensure our systems are running to their maximum potential
- Assist traders with their ad-hoc programming ideas and needs
What You Need to Succeed
- Graduates or final year students pursuing a degree in Information Technology, Computer science or other related discipline
- Candidates with 1-2 years of experience in a DevOps role will be considered as well
- Advanced knowledge in Python programming. Experience with Java and C++ programming languages is beneficial but not mandatory.
- Ability to write clear, optimized and efficient code
- Basic knowledge and interest in the field of finance is advantageous
- An entrepreneurial mindset that thrives on creative problem solving
- Strong sense of teamwork and willingness to learn new skills
- Good communication skills
Recruitment Process
- Submit your resume and motivation letter.
- Complete our Technical/Hackerrank assessments.
- Meet members of the Trading Team
- Meet members of our Management Team
