Who We Are

Pico provides agile and transparent technology solutions to the Financial Markets community including infrastructure hosting, network connectivity, market data, Corvil analytics, and cloud services giving your organization the freedom to move fast. As financial industry experts at the center of markets and technology, we help our clients efficiently scale their business and quickly access markets. From infrastructure to connectivity, we support our clients through the full trading lifecycle. We are a global company headquartered in New York, with offices in Chicago, London, Dublin, Madrid, Krakow, Singapore and Tokyo (coming soon…Warsaw!).

Warsaw and Poland Expansion

Given the success of our Krakow office, we are now expanding to build out a high-class team in Warsaw and across Poland. We are excited to speak with candidates who will be happy to work remotely initially with a view to setting up an office location in Warsaw when the time is right. We especially want to speak with candidates who are keen to work in a startup environment.
We are also interested to speak to candidates based across Poland who are interested in working remotely full time with occasional visits to the office. 

The Role

This is an opportunity to join a world-leading engineering team working on the design and development of new features across Corvil entire product range. We are at a tremendously exciting stage with extensive innovative work on-going and an exciting vision to fulfil.

You will innovate and influence the technical direction of our projects and mentor a team of talented software engineers. As tech lead, you will have control over the design and architecture of our development environment and solutions, with a view to delivering high-quality, scalable code using agile methodologies. You will be expected to write and review code, setting the standard for the team. With frequent production releases you will be accountable for signing off on what goes out the door and what doesn’t.

We are at a tremendously exciting stage with extensive innovation on-going and an exciting vision to fulfill. As an example, we are currently building out the Virtual Corvil Data Engine which will help our customers scale into hybrid-cloud and cloud environments. With deep support for ~600 protocol flavours, automation is key to driving accuracy and performance of our products at scale. This role requires a leader who will ensure that the quality of our software remains at a very high level, while continuing to meet the demands of an ever-changing, dynamic landscape in the world of trading and beyond.

If you want to solve the problems encountered when analysing the firehose of network data in real time - capturing, decoding, analysing and indexing at 100Gb/s and more, then Corvil is what you are looking for.
