Working at Wintermute  

We are looking for a Software Engineer specializing in Python who is passionate about building products/applications that people find useful and enjoy using. At Wintermute you will have an opportunity to grow and make direct impact on trading by developing and improving all the parts of the trading applications, while also getting advice and guidance from very experienced developers and traders, including the founders. You will get a lot of independence and responsibility right away, and you'll learn at an unprecedented speed. No legacy systems, no corporate bureaucracy, no multiple levels of approvals. It is up to you to make an impact.  You will work alongside exceptionally sharp colleagues, learn how to write fail-safe code and improve performance and scalability of GUI and other applications, a real challenge and a rare opportunity! 

What will you work on

This role will involve working on QT based Python trading applications. A great advantage of this position is that it is varied, and it is also up to you to shape it in the direction that matches your talents and company needs. Projects may include building a brand-new trading GUI (for internal use), upgrading existing applications, designing a completely application from scratch. We will share more technical details in the interviews.   You will work very closely with traders and trading platform developers. You’ll have an opportunity to improve your knowledge of building high-performance scalable applications, understand broader system architecture and to understand algorithmic crypto currency trading. 

We are open to experience from both personal and work-related projects. Interest in algorithmic trading is a plus.
