Rockefeller Center NYC, onsite: #1 looking for #2
Bootstrapped prop ultra low latency trading firm (as opposed to a firm which originally had investors and later kicked them out), and I'm willing to cut significant equity. see <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2835656" >http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2835656</a> for some discussion of what I do.
I'm not a traditional finance guy, and I'm definitely not looking for a banking drone. Most of those tasks are handled by cron anyway. Sanctity of weekends are preserved.
the ideal candidate: mastery, to the level of obsession, with C/Python/coreutils; insatiable curiosity; inquisitive to a fault; chutzpah to challenge every assumption and assertion; calm under pressure; and desire to be involved in every aspect of the business.
Windonauts need not apply.
Excited? REDACTED_EMAIL
