    • Collaborate with technical and business peers to develop new trading strategies and systems

    • Strong communication skills with both engineers and people without a technical background
    • Experience with SQL database, mutli-thread programming, STL & Boost
    • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
