You will be working with a select few of the existing employees on a unique project within London / New York. The opportunity is for a talented programmer / developer / software engineer to join a Greenfield Front Office Algorithmic Trading desk, focusing predominantly (but not exclusively) on FX and Fixed Income products. This is a unique opening for an exceptional individual to join an extremely innovative and ambitious group of people who have the capacity to build a Trading Platform with the reputation and latency requirements similar to Deutsche Bank’s Autobahn Platform and Barclays Capital’s BARX platform. Knowledge of the specific products is not essential but you must have a strong appetite for Market Making and High Frequency Trading businesses. Ideally you will come from a Finance background, although exceptional talent (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo!, Amazon type profiles) will be considered. You will play a crucial role in the design and implementation of cutting-edge Electronic Trading, Market Making and Algorithmic Trading tools and strategies. Your role will involve sitting and working directly with the Quants and Traders on the trading floor – as such, worthy communication skills are obligatory. Whilst trying to avoid the usual cliché, this is a distinctive group with some of the best Computer Scientists, Quants and Traders around. Requisites:  Outstanding abilities in C++ and/or Java  Top education from a reputable University (1st class only) – BSc / MSc / PhD in a scientific discipline  Solid experience within low latency, Market Making, High Frequency Trading, Electronic Trading or Algorithmic Trading from a top firm (Investment Bank, Hedge Fund etc.)  Motivation to build a highly reputable low latency / high throughput Algorithmic Trading platform This genuinely is a rare opportunity to join an exceptional group of individuals looking to make a contribution not only to the Bank, but to Algorithmic / High Frequency Trading as a whole. Compensations on offer are unrivalled and, in certain cases, guaranteed bonuses will be offered. Please send your CV to l.jackson@westbourne-partners.com or call +44 (0) 203 145 1511 to discuss further in complete confidence."
