High performance, low latency, financial markets… You know where this is going right? Yup, trading. Business is booming right now and this company is looking to make the most of it. Which is where you come in.
You have my attention
The Netherlands has always been at the forefront of financial trading and this company is looking to keep it that way. As a High-Frequency trading firm, it breathes technology. For every trader on the floor, there are at least two developers. Make no mistake, IT is their core business. Because in such a highly competitive market, performance, speed, and reliability are key. Which is where you come in.
That’s great, what will I be doing?
To speed up innovation and boost productivity throughout the company, a new team is being formed. And you could be a part of it. They are looking to hire the best Python Developers they can find for some of the most technically demanding projects they have. Things like building analysis & visualization tools are at the heart of the business logic, in close collaboration with the traders who use them. As a member of this A-team, you will get to see every part of the organization and look for ways to improve it. From speeding up decision-making processes or deployments to optimizing trading algorithms for performance.
As their Network Engineer, you are responsible for designing, implementing, and supporting the WAN, LANs, and all low-latency connectivity to trading venues. You also monitor, guard, and analyze the proper functioning of their network infrastructure. Because the whole company runs on technology, it’s a vital part of the organization that has to keep running at 110% at all times. You make sure that happens.
Now you have my curiosity
Of course, you’ll need to bring the right set of tools to build the perfect solutions. A few years of relevant experience as a Network Engineer will definitely come in handy, though we’re mainly focused on the willingness and ability to learn. You get a thrill out of designing, implementing, and supporting high-performance networks. You’re not afraid to go beyond the standard textbook concepts of networking. With your ability to communicate technical concepts and challenges to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, you’re settled.
So this trading thing, what does it pay?
Pretty damn well, to be honest. Starting with a base salary between 75.000 and €100.000 gross a year, excluding the secondary benefits. And those secondary benefits, are second to none. From a fully catered lunch every day and flexible working to a royal end-of-year bonus. You know I said speed was key? What are you waiting for? Click apply!
