Responsibilities also include ensuring code is efficient, maintainable, scalable, and adheres to best practices for security. The candidate will partner with cross-disciplinary teams such as trading, sales, quantitative analysis, compliance, risk management, and operations, and collaborate with global colleagues to foster a culture of code excellence and shared knowledge. Additionally, providing second-tier support for the application is expected.
