The firm trades across more than a thousand markets globally and has grown at high-teens to mid-20% annually for over a decade. Last year was one of their strongest on record.Culturally, it's an outlier in finance. Completely flat in structure, no formal titles, no org chart. Retention is unusually high, almost unreal for this industry. Whoever has the context makes the call, not whoever has the most seniority, and you'll have direct access to the people running the firm within minutes of needing them. Every hire, regardless of prior seniority, starts as an IC on day one. Managers earn their teams before they manage them.We're looking for an experienced Software Engineer to work directly with traders and researchers, embedded on a desk.

And equity/bonus is tied to firm-wide performance, not a single desk.
