Who We Are

Our internal trading teams are independent from one another, enjoying autonomy while accessing shared technology resources such as hardware, software, and connectivity as well as resources such as business management, legal, compliance, and risk management.

At the heart of operations is our core engineering team, which owns the architecture, implementation and optimization of the trading platform itself.  This includes developing systems and tools to access market data, perform trend analysis, run trading simulations, order entry and management, real-time trade support, risk management and post-trade services.

Working together, our organization builds technology and deploys our diverse automated and quantitative strategies across a broad range of asset classes in global markets around the clock.

Careers

Tower is always looking for exceptional people to join our team. 

Tower is on the cutting edge of quantitative trading, a lucrative field that provides some of the most challenging math and engineering problems in the world. A career with Tower is a chance to not only become expert in this industry, but to shape its future with the engineers and analysts who are building it from the ground up. New employees of Tower become members of teams that have built some of the most sophisticated trading systems in the world.

All teams interact closely with Tower’s top management and will have opportunities to grow and influence new projects. Compensation is extremely generous, and in addition to a very competitive salary, we offer five weeks of paid vacation and bonuses tied to the success of projects.

In addition to growing our engineering and trading functions, Tower is committed to building an exceptional team of individuals who support our business.

Culture

At Tower, we not only strive to excel at what we are doing, we thoroughly enjoy doing it. Tower’s main office and garden roofdeck are located in TriBeCa, a neighborhood in downtown Manhattan. While we work hard, Tower’s cubicle-free workplace, jeans-clad workforce, and well-stocked kitchens reflect the premium the firm places on quality of life.

Our small size and open work environment create an esprit de corps rarely found in large organizations. Working at Tower is challenging and exciting, and we have worked hard to create an environment where collaboration and engagement are paramount, and encourage team members to share their experience and knowledge.
