Maven is a proprietary trading organisation formed in 2011. We employ the most talented traders, developers and engineers in the market, executing a diverse range of strategies across global equities and derivatives. Maven has a culture that is relaxed and informal but highly rewarding of strong performance; there's no dress code, plenty of free food and regular social events. We have offices in London, Hong Kong and New York and will be opening a new Chicago office as part of our plans to expand our coverage of derivatives markets.

The high frequency trading team engages in systematic automated trading across a range of products. Core to our success is a tight integration between trading, research, and technology, and everyone involved in making these pieces come together. Our approach to trading is scientific and process driven, with a strong emphasis on a flexible research environment, providing us efficient means to develop, test, and deploy new ideas. Currently located in London, we have plans to expand the team across US and Asia over the coming years.

We are looking for someone to join our team, working with traders and developers in improving existing and building new technology to enable our growing operation. Whilst financial experience can be helpful, we place significantly higher weight on the strengths of your development skills, your mindset, and your attitude towards solving problems and excelling at what you do. As a technologist in our team you will not only work closely with trading and research, you will also have the opportunity to explore and test your own ideas for the markets. As the team expands the right candidates will have the chance to take ownership of core elements of our technology, and see them through to scale and global use.
