What People Are Saying About Simplex Trading

  • Strong Hiring & Retention: Hiring across algorithmic trading, volatility trading, software, infrastructure, and FPGA engineering roles points to ongoing investment in people and capabilities. Employer recognition such as Built In’s multi-year Best Places to Work listings and visible employee introductions support an ability to attract and keep specialized talent.
  • Market Expansion: A managing director role was added in 2024 to expand partnerships and extend the business into new products and geographies. Leadership materials describe efforts to scale the joint back-office structure and broaden trading into additional products and regions.
  • Innovation-Driven Growth: Continued emphasis on proprietary technology, scalable infrastructure, and hardware-accelerated engineering (e.g., FPGA) suggests a build-out aimed at higher trading capacity. Careers and team narratives highlight automation, data-driven analysis, research tools, and software quality as core growth enablers.
