The Team

The Asia equities quantitative/on-desk technology team develops systems that streamline desk processes and offer data insights to enhance the efficiency of sales and traders.

The team was established recently, with several modules yet to be developed. This presents a unique opportunity for individuals to work independently, show initiative, and showcase creativity. Additionally, given the adaptable work environment with minimal bureaucracy, team members can concentrate on creating valuable components and readily assess the impact of their contributions.

The primary users of the systems are equities traders and sales-traders, mainly situated in Asia.

Ongoing and past projects within the team encompass activities such as content aggregation, IOIs, RFQs, program trading/index rebalances, pre/post-trade tasks, and trading analytics.

Main technologies utilized include:

  • Java (with Spring/JPA)
  • Web (HTML, CSS, Angular TypeScript)
  • SQL databases (MySQL, SQL Server)
  • Infrastructure: Linux (experience with Docker or AWS is advantageous)
  • DevOps: Atlassian suite
