What is Athena? A modern trading and risk management system that empowers developers and engages traders through a rich development framework sitting on a globally integrated data fabric.
The suite of pricing and risk management tools that traders and salespeople use every day have historically been “big iron” platforms with limited interaction. Athena is designed as a unified environment based on modern architectural components: a fast and replicated object-oriented database; a powerful dependency graph; and Python and C++ for development.

-Work with data science team on equity trading signals project
-Will work closely with quant and tech teams across fixed income businesses
This position requires very strong development skills across platforms and languages.
The team works mostly in C++ and Python, so experience in either of these is a plus, but not essential.
Excellent engineering/CS/math schools/education are preferred
Job functions range from hard core low-level C++ development to business specific problem solving, real-time pricing, electronic trading, deal modeling, etc.
