New to Financial Technology? Just like our traders, members of our technology team often arrive to BlackEdge with no trading industry experience Our engineers have come from Big Tech companies, small web startups, and PhD programs While our core trading system is primarily written in C++ and C#, experience in those languages is far from a prerequisite for success What matters most for success in our industry is how your approach to engineering technology systems, your passion to grow and learn, and your excitement about competing in the trading industry

BlackEdge’s small size and collaborative environment enable every member of our technology team, from fresh intern to seasoned partner, to scale their impact across every trading team at the firm In an industry where latency is measured in nanoseconds, bandwidth in gigabits, and storage in terabytes, unique and interesting challenges abound
