We have a holistic approach to careers, providing a structure that each person can navigate depending on their aspirations and strengths. Some aspects of that structure include:

Always learning

You’ll have access to learning in every form. From classroom training to certification to industry seminars, we have invested heavily in an internal program designed to give every colleague the foundations to become a genuine thought leader in their area and keep their knowledge up-to-date. You’ll be able to contribute to our many internal research and development projects and be part of seminars and real work that help us expand our capabilities in everything from cloud infrastructure to machine learning to data science. Our success depends on our being at the frontier of each of these areas.

Continuous career development

These include mentoring, workshops and cross-training opportunities alongside regular career and performance reviews. These reviews are an important part of everyone’s development and will help you shape your career with us, set your goals and work out a strategy to achieve them. We always look to promote from within and all development opportunities are tailored to helping people achieve their personal ambitions.

Building your personal brand

We take thought leadership seriously and believe that being open and showing what we’re capable of is one of the best ways to grow your brand and ours. We’ll always give people the time and space necessary to write, speak on panels, publish whitepapers or contribute to journals. We help our people carve out a space in the industry, connect with audiences and establish themselves as experts in their field. Lab49 has developed a reputation for delivering complex projects for clients looking to innovate and your work here will help you become known for tackling important challenges. All our people have access to our resources to bring their ideas to a larger audience.

Work with colleagues who encourage each other

Lab49 is and has been home to many of the top minds in technology and design because they want to work with outstanding colleagues. We foster collaboration at every single stage and recognize great people need to work with people of the same level to keep growing. By gathering these people within a culture that promotes transparency, shared goals and team-first environments, we create an inclusive atmosphere that colleagues find challenging and energizing.

We recruit people who can hit the ground running. That means the most technically-astute engineers who can work directly and strategically with top-tier financial institutions who expect boundary-pushing work from us. Our priority will always be creating an environment where you can do that work to a degree and quality you’re truly proud of.

We’re recognized as leaders in creating single dealer platforms that maximize optionality within the regulatory climate, delivering high performance dealing systems that harness sophisticated infrastructure to support low-margin products and developing risk platforms that give institutions a competitive edge in analyzing their market exposure.

But we’re not done. We’re constantly expanding into new domains and we’re always on the lookout for talented, ambitious colleagues who can work with us to take the next step forward.
