You'll design, develop, and maintain execution systems and real-time analytics platforms, working closely with traders, quant researchers, and technology teams to ensure the firm's execution capabilities remain best-in-class. Your work will directly influence trading performance, transaction cost analysis, and execution strategy across asset classes.
