CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Technology is at the center of everything we do. Our developers work hand-in-hand with both our quant team and traders to optimize the way we approach pricing, risk management, workflow enhancements and more.
Technologists are fully embedded in the business, and most will rotate through a trading or quant seat for first-hand experience of why and how we operate. Our technology team participates in all business-led collaboration and brainstorming sessions, providing a seamless interplay between business and technology. Increasingly our traders think like developers and our developers think like traders.
At Millennium, a developer has exposure to all elements of project planning. That begins with idea generation and evolution with quantitative analysts and stakeholders, through to discussion of design and architecture with peers, building, testing and releasing into production, through to supporting those projects once live.
We’re on a path of continuous improvement. The environment is fast-paced and challenging, and rewards agile minds with a focus on relentless progress.
THE COMPANY
We are committed to fostering an outstanding company culture, where people like to work and like each other, where they can be challenged intellectually, exercise their creative and entrepreneurial interests, and still have a life outside of work.
