Job Description

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.

  • 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:

  • 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 2028 with a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Desire to work at the cutting edge of quantitative finance

A final note about our culture: we are pursuing excellence in trading. We want to be the best market makers in each product we trade and are relentless in our pursuit of incremental improvement.
