Overview

Technology is what makes SIG’s systematic trading desk successful. Smarter, faster code makes the difference between winning or losing on the most competitive markets in the world.

Every day our teams of traders and developers work together to push our proprietary trading systems to the edge of what is physically possible. You will learn from very smart experienced developers how to implement trading systems from scratch or hyper-optimise existing ones. We've got heaps of exchange and performance data for
you to chew on using our high performance clusters.

Your success is our success and we’ll be there to guide your development and make sure you’ll keep on learning. Over time we’ll rely on you to help us build entirely new trading strategies for the existing markets and new markets we’re always looking to.

What you’ll be involved with:
Partnering with Quantitative researchers and traders, working with a well establish codebase through iteration to enhance, refine and evolve strategies. Tap into tens of petabytes of raw and well prepped full tick market data, strategy decisions, fundamentals and many other data sources to understand market dynamics and find new signals.
