Обязанности
- We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Core Data & Lifecycle Engineering team in Sydney.
- This team builds and owns critical systems that sit at the heart of QRT’s trading operations—powering trade and position lifecycle management, reference data, and reporting workflows across all asset classes. These systems are highly visible and directly influence trading decisions, risk management, and operational efficiency.
- This is primarily a hands-on engineering role (≈80% development), with a smaller component (≈20% support and system ownership) focused on maintaining robustness, reliability, and data quality in production.
- You’ll work closely with trading, research, risk, and operations teams, gaining strong exposure to the business while building scalable, high-performance systems.
