Do you want to tackle the biggest questions in finance with near infinite compute power at your fingertips?
G-Research is a leading quantitative research and technology firm, with offices in London and Dallas.
We are proud to employ some of the best people in their field and to nurture their talent in a dynamic, flexible and highly stimulating culture where world-beating ideas are cultivated and rewarded.
The role
We provide our clients with a cutting-edge, multi-asset, globally distributed, real-time trading platform. As this platform expands, we need to evolve our command & control infrastructure and user experience to stay ahead of our clients’ management, monitoring, and diagnostic needs.
This evolution will involve far more than improving a suite of user interfaces. You will need to understand and build-out the user experience optimised to multiple stakeholders across Research, Engineering, and the Front Office.
As part of the Research Engineering organisation, you will initially enhance our existing stack, understanding the needs of the business, and ultimately own the longer-term vision for how the stack should develop. You will then secure buy-in for this vision, and take responsibility for development and delivery.
Key responsibilities of the role include:
Initial expansion of our existing stack (C# / TypeScript)
Ownership for the command & control infrastructure spanning the entire trading pipeline
Defining, communicating, and implementing the strategic vision for the UX
Collaborating with Engineers in both London and Connecticut to build the platform
Following enterprise-grade software engineering best-practices
Who are we looking for?
You will be an enthusiastic and capable Engineer who is able to solve real-world problems, with a strong sense of UX aesthetics. You should be flexible and proactive, with the ability to make complex systems work and to debug them when they don’t. You should enjoy working as part of a collaborative engineering team.
The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:
A breadth of experience in the UX space, combining a clear understanding of what good looks like with the ability to communicate that understanding with clarity
Full stack engineering skills (ideally C# / WPF & TypeScript)
Ability to communicate well with technical and non-technical people
The following experiences would be beneficial, but not essential:
Experience collaborating with geographically disperse teams
Why should you apply?
Market-leading compensation plus annual discretionary bonus
Excellent paid time off allowance
Generous 401(k) plan
Medical, Dental and Vision insurance
Informal dress code and excellent work/life balance
Parental leave
Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance
Substantial relocation allowance and support
Great selection of office snacks, and hot and cold drinks
