Job Description
At Citadel, Software Engineers are responsible for building the systems that power every aspect of our investment process, from research and analysis to trading, risk management, funding and settlement.

If you're interested in financial markets and excited by the prospect of having real impact in a fast-paced environment where everyone is inspired to be their best, we're excited to meet you.
Our most successful engineers are critical thinkers who know how to dissect the problem as proficiently as they know how to build the solution.
