  • Be extremely hands-on, producing both detailed technical work and high-level architectural designs
  • Have leadership opportunities across both project and team management
  • Build software using Agile methodologies and modern software best practices
  • Work directly with Traders and Researchers to create and enhance high performance, low latency trading strategies

Qualities that make great candidates:
  • 3+ years of experience developing performant, scalable applications in modern C++20 and beyond
  • Experience developing trading strategies and/or a demonstrated passion for financial markets
  • Experience using data to drive decision-making
  • Significant experience with distributed systems, data structures, and algorithms
  • Solid understanding of multi-threaded/multi-core programming paradigms
  • Highly collaborative in nature, with excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math or equivalent
  • The ability to react quickly and accurately to rapidly changing market conditions, including the ability to quickly and accurately respond and/or solve math and coding problems are essential functions of the role

In addition to technical skillsets, Akuna values the unique perspectives people can bring to the table to collaboratively solve complex problems and drive Akuna forward. We want everyone to feel empowered to apply. We welcome your application and encourage you to take the first steps toward your future with us!
