About the Position
We are looking for individuals eager to use their technical, organizational, and communication skills in a fast-paced environment to join our TDOE team. Our TDOEs are integral to the firm’s success, building and maintaining desk infrastructure that supports the trading of thousands of financial products across 200 venues in over 45 countries.
Trading Desk Operations Engineers wear many hats, helping to manage the operational side of the trading desk’s activities and interfacing with various groups within the firm to ensure our work is accurate and efficient. You’ll work alongside traders and developers to take on projects like:
- Managing and optimizing infrastructure and operational processes
- Supporting trading systems and workflows by executing data queries and coordinating with stakeholders
- Designing and implementing solutions for a range of trading and operational-related issues on the desk
- Communicating with clearing firms and external counterparties to settle and clear trades
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our trading desks are central to our collaborative office environment, and we believe the best way to integrate new hires is through a hands-on, interactive approach. You’ll receive mentorship from other TDOEs, traders, and developers as you take part in a number of development and training programs over your first few months. We don’t expect you to have a background in finance or any other specific field — we’re looking for curious people who enjoy solving interesting problems. We’re more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know.
It’s important to emphasize the hands-on nature of this role; you’ll be building the tools that allow our firm to operate smoothly and execute trades efficiently. You’ll utilize technical coding, skilled organization, and collaborative problem-solving to deliver smart, innovative solutions that make our trading better.
