Job Profile:
The Equities Derivatives Technology Team solves some of the most interesting and complex challenges in the financial industry to help our global business and its customers succeed.

We are motivated by challenging each other to push the boundaries of financial and technological innovation, in an open, inclusive, and diverse environment. We are looking for the brightest and best developers to take our capability forward.
About Our Team

Curiosity and a growth mind-set driven by continuous learning are key values within our team.
About the Role
We're looking for an Equity Derivatives Trading Tools Developer for our Americas region, based in our New York office. The successful candidate will join as a developer who is responsible to design, develop, test, release and support the US Equity Derivatives Trading Desk. The candidate will work on small to medium-term projects directly with the US Equity Derivatives Trading Desk using technologies such as Python, Java, and Excel VBA among others. This includes supporting existing applications & Excel Spreadsheets, migrating tools to our new web-based framework, developing new applications based on the needs of the trading desk, and helping to automate common trading activities.
About You
Ideally comfortable with some coding languages (Java, Python and Excel VBA). Whilst Derivatives trading knowledge (options pricing and risk) is beneficial it is not required for this role.
You are an excellent communicator, and are comfortable communicating directly with the trading desk and internal technology teams and are able to range up and down the detail depending on your audience. You will handle all phases of development (requirements gathering/analysis through to implementation), establishing solid relationships and trust built on proven delivery.
Learning from operational failures is important to you, constantly asking why, using evidence to prove root causes and ensuring solutions are implemented to prevent reoccurrences.
