Trading Data Engineer

The organisation

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.

The position

You have my curiosity

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.

Tasks & responsibilities

It is a completely data-driven organization and their internal data infrastructure is the foundation for their success. To strengthen that foundation, they are looking to hire an experienced Data Engineer to work on some of the most critical data solutions they have. Java, Python, and possibly even some Kotlin, you’ll use whatever tool is necessary to get the job done. Whether it’s developing a new data toolkit, integrating it with C++ based systems and services, or improving the financial analytics platforms – your solutions inform every decision that’s made.

Candidate profile

Now you have my attention

Of course, you’ll need to bring the right set of tools to build the perfect solutions. A solid background in Computer Science or a closely related field is crucial. Preferably even a Master’s degree. Next on the list is experience with Java and Python. Some experience with Kotlin is also more than welcome but we’re mainly focused on the willingness and ability to learn. A deep understanding of Linux is always a good thing, just like experience with Hadoop, SQL interfaces, and Apache Spark. If you already have tools like Docker and Kubernetes in your toolbox that would be awesome. If not, no worries. As long as there is space in your toolbox, we can get you equipped.

The offer

So this trading thing, what does it pay?

Pretty damn well, to be honest. Starting with a base salary between € 75.000 and € 95.000 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.
