Qualifications:

  • Outstanding Java coding with an interest in finance and technology.
  • Experience of very high performance zero-GC and lock free software engineering in Java.
  • Experience of and understanding of the LMAX set of open-sourced software tools (Aeron, Disruptor, SBE, Artio, Agrona).
  • Experience of solving HA problems and distributed systems challenges is useful (especially Aeron cluster / Raft).
  • Any knowledge of Python/C++ and scientific computing would be advantageous.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
