THE ROLE
For XTX, providing liquidity to financial markets and their customers represents an enormous and difficult set of forecasting problems, the resolution of which requires solving ever larger data and technology problems. To achieve our goal requires exceptional levels of innovation, scientific skill, hard work and passion to provide the best possible value for those individuals and organisations needing access to the markets.
An operations role at XTX will provide exposure across all areas of the business. You will be given the opportunity to take ownership over processes early on. With the guidance of the team, candidates will improve and develop new processes using a range of technical skills such as Golang and SQL. Resolving a broad set of daily issues will mean regularly interacting with other teams and external counterparties.
Our ethos is to develop robust, scalable solutions that improve the efficiency of the team and accuracy of our data. This is an opportunity to take part in the growth of a company where decisions make a difference. The impact of operations is far beyond what you usually see within large institutions.
