StratsLab combines top-level IT skills and deep financial knowledge to deliver innovative products and services. We are a Developers Driven Company, you will meet people with high programming skills and will participate in exciting projects here. StratsLab was founded in 2015, by People with international experience - alumni of Warsaw University, Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics (MIM). We worked at top-tier investment banks and hedge funds in London for several years. We implement projects for clients from the financial sectors across Europe and the US. 

 

Your role 

 

You will be working in international teams, serving customers from financial institutions (banks, funds, investment houses, etc.). You will participate in the implementation of risk management software: adjusting it to customers' requirements, and developing new functionalities & applications. 

 

 
Technologies we work with

 

The backend is mainly in Python. There are also projects in C++, Go, Rust, and TypeScript. 

 

You can expect to spend around 70%+ of your development time in Python and the rest across a subset of other mentioned languages according to your preferences. 

 

We expect you to be able to be comfortable reading code in any language. We do not expect you to be an expert in all of them, but we do require you to be OK with doing a minor change from time to time in a tech stack you aren't using daily (don't worry, it will be reviewed before merging).

 

We are multi-cloud and are currently in production with AWS and Azure. GCP implementation is starting later this year.

 

Development environment

 

You configure your work environment yourself, and you have complete freedom in using the software that makes you happy and productive. The default is macOS, but we had a case of someone using Gentoo, so the sky is the limit. As for tooling, we use Git, Jira, Slack, GitLab CI / CD.

 

 

➔ Advanced knowledge of software design, data structures and algorithms

➔ Strong interpersonal and communication skills, openness to direct work with customers 

➔ Exposure to multiple programming languages and paradigms.

➔ Familiarity with cloud computing such as AWS / Azure / GCP is a plus

➔ Financial knowledge and/or experience in financial markets will be an advantage

➔ Very good command of English

This position is marked as "Partly Remote" - what does it mean?

In short, that means that although there is no limit on remote work, we are looking for people who want and plan to work from the office most of the time.

 

We value interpersonal relations and the ability to solve problems together while standing next to a physical whiteboard. We are looking for people for whom the ability to work together in a single location is a feature, not a bug. We do want to ensure that when you come to the office, there will be other people with a similar mindset.
