IEX is looking for a driven, motivated junior candidate to join our Market Operations desk. You will have familiarity with the mechanics of electronic trading, U.S. equity market structure, programming & automation, data analysis, and the support of multifaceted technology systems. You will demonstrate the composure and aptitude required to work effectively in a dynamic, high-pressure trading environment.

This position is best suited for a highly collaborative, team-oriented individual who is passionate about technology and working with data. You’ll work directly with IEX Member firms and other industry participants to expand access and understanding of the IEX market as well as cross functionally with IEX’s product, technology, and regulatory teams.

ABOUT YOU:

Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Superlative attention to detail

Keen interest in technology and desire to grow skills in this area

Open-minded and able to quickly acquire new concepts and ideas

Self-motivated and comfortable with independently driven work

Availability and commitment to accommodate a flexible work schedule and an on-call environment


WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Operation of the production trading systems and the support of its Member firms

Execute and maintain daily operational procedures

Develop expertise with IEX systems, market functionality, order types and external interfaces

Design, build, and maintain automation scripts owned by the Market Operations team

Perform data analysis to support troubleshooting client issues, improving operational efficiency, and managing risk

NICE TO HAVES:

Python programming experience – You’ve thrown some scripts together to automate things you don’t need to spend your time on. Always looking to improve your code and use functions where possible. You get annoyed at manual processes that can be easily automated and do what you can to prevent yourself from being a human keyboard.
