If you are looking to join a small, dynamic, growing firm in the financial technology sector, you have come to the right place. BlackEdge has built a strong foundation of success as an industry leading market maker in the treasury options space. Now we need talented people like you to build on that foundation by further improving and leveraging our existing success to expand into new markets.

What you'll do:

• Development, delivery, and support of trading applications
• Involvement in the entire project life-cycle including communication with quants and traders to gather requirements and deploy software you've written.
• Acquisition of a working knowledge of financial markets and options market making
• Collaborative development with other members of the technology and trading team

What we need:

• Exceptional problem solving ability
• Growing knowledge in a low-level computer science realm: e.g. networking, operating systems, compilers, or computer graphics.
• Exposure to design and architectural patterns.
• Graduating in 2025 with a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Desire to work at the cutting edge of quantitative finance
