• You have experience with error handling and data quality validation
• You are comfortable with Git and DevOps basics
• How you work

• You are collaborative – you share knowledge and help keep the codebase strong
• You are calm under pressure – you know trading environments don’t wait
• What you can expect from us :

You’ll join with a steep learning curve supported by a thorough onboarding program that sets you up for success from day one.
