What We Do
Trading Technologies creates professional trading software, infrastructure and data solutions for a wide variety of users. Be aware of fraudulent job postings: It has come to our attention that individuals pretending to represent Trading Technologies are posting fake job ads on LinkedIn and possibly other job boards. These individuals conduct candidate interviews via Skype and extend offers, likely with the intent to collect personal information such as banking information, social security number or date of birth. They use a Gmail email address that is not affiliated with Trading Technologies. Only emails using a tradingtechnologies.com or trade.tt email address are authentic. Although we use third party recruiting agencies on a case-by-case basis, all candidates speak with a staff member who has a valid company email address before any offers are extended or personal information collected. Our open positions are posted on BuiltIn and on the Careers page of our website.
