You will translate trading ideas and operational requirements into robust, production-ready trading applications, and take ownership of their stability, performance, and execution quality. Through this, you will actively improve end-to-end trade automation workflows in a live intraday trading environment.

Monitoring and managing the daily performance of automated trading, working directly with traders to troubleshoot issues and guarantee high-quality execution in live markets;

Building and refining trading workflows and algorithms, proactively adapting our technical setup to meet changing business and market needs;

Implementing and maintaining standards for testing and documentation, taking an active role in keeping the platform reliable, easy to support, and compliant with all trading regulations.

This is where you’ll work

You will work within the Intraday Trading team as part of the value chain Trading & Structuring, right next to Rotterdam-Alexander station. A complex, dynamic environment where moving markets, ever-changing positions and new technologies create a challenging trading environment which requires a lot of initiative and insight.
