- Familiarity with common algorithms and data structures and their performance trade-offs
- Practical experience designing and implementing complex software systems is beneficial
- Experience with Linux is a plus, but by no means a necessity
- Finance experience is not required

- Significant compensation package - you are making a direct impact on the PnL
- Collaborative and friendly environment with highly engaged colleagues
- Culture of trust, innovation and scientific rigour
- Generous benefits, including onsite gym, sauna & fitness classes, free breakfast and lunch daily, and extensive medical cover.
