The role
The Software Engineering team is a central part of Javelin and enjoys varied responsibilities from the front to back office. The role will offer you the opportunity to be involved in transforming the systems of the firm and getting intimate with the business itself.
Our role is similar to the Front Office Developer role that you will find in leading investment banks and hedge funds, but the opportunity at Javelin is broader in scope and influence. Our company performs significant logistical, financing, and operational activities bridging these areas.

- Monitoring performance and failures of servers, services and processes and recommending improvements.
- Work in our AWS and AZURE infrastructure environments to make the most efficient use of our compute.
- Work closely with the Quantitative Strategies team to enhance and build out the systems environment.
