About Akuna: 

Akuna Capital is an innovative trading firm with a strong focus on collaboration, cutting-edge technology, data driven solutions, and automation. We specialize in providing liquidity as an options market maker - meaning we are committed to providing competitive quotes that we are willing to both buy and sell. To do this successfully, we design and implement our own low latency technologies, trading strategies, and mathematical models. 

Our Founding Partners first conceptualized Akuna in their hometown of Sydney.

Today, Akuna is proud to operate from additional offices in Sydney, Shanghai, London and Singapore.

  • Assist with performance troubleshooting and identify key opportunities for improvement
  • Use a data driven approach to collaborate with relevant Trading, Quant, and Technology teams to expand and improve our systems, footprint, and latency across different strategies and exchanges
  • Review and analyze how we leverage our proprietary systems, identifying potential bottlenecks and considering how we can improve our technology stack to better our trading success

Qualities that make great candidates:

  • BS/MS/PhD in technical field - Computer Science, Math, Physics, Engineering
  • Strong C++ or Python programming background with demonstrated experience developing performant, scalable applications
  • Experience analyzing and tuning operating systems, compilers, networking, IO subsystems, or accelerators
  • Exposure to statistical and experimental methods and tools for testing performance
  • Highly collaborative in nature - excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work on cross-functional teams including Trading, Development, IT, and Quant
  • 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!

In accordance with Illinois Equal Pay Act, the minimum base salary starts at $145,000.
