Golang/Rust/Postgres Developer for Algorithmic Trading Company (Zurich)
This is not a typical company. You will be working with one other developer who will also be managing you and reviewing your code at the moment. That is me.
I am based in Switzerland though I am an American.
I want to reduce tasks to simple, well defined programs (where possible which is most places)
There are many aspects of an automated trading system that need to recur (e.g. ingestion of historical market data). If these "aspects" are broken down into many small parts, if one has a problem the others will still be running so most of the other programs can continue. If there are say 3 large programs and one fails, then the whole system must stop.
I am a developer myself so understand how to convey engineering requirements.
I am flexible about software language, to an extent. I am learning Rust so if a small program can be written in Rust I am open to it. I also want to learn other programming languages over time. So if you are into Clojure or Haskell it could be interesting to wade into those waters over time
Strong analytical and problem skills are a huge plus
Massive bonus points if you know Python/Matplotlib – data analysis stuff
Here's the standard jobbledygook stuff:
