"ILUGHYD - $(grep ^`whoami`: | tr : \\n | head -5 | tail -1)"
Also, if you're really bright but your academic background does'nt show
it, you could be considered as well. And now please read on:
One of the world's largest financial organisations has constituted a
highly-focussed internal business group which seeks to exploit advanced
technologies in computation, data and finance for the purpose of
out-performing in the global securities marketplace. The group is
envisioned to be small and closely-knit with 2 main centers of
operation, New York and Chennai, along with additional operational
footprint in Europe and Far East.
For the nascent Chennai center, we are seeking smart people with very
strong pragmatic computing skills and a solid engineering/science
academic background.
For computational requirements, candidates would have demonstrable
experience on GNU/Linux, on which platform they would have written
significant Python/Perl code with database interaction, or they would
have coded multithreaded C/C++.
The selected candidates would be extremely hard-working and driven to
excel. They would be able to work well with other (including
geographically remote) team members. All hires will gain expertise in
understanding and manipulating data. They will also be ensuring the
optimal and highly-performant operation of a multitude of interdependent
streams of data manipulation and processing - activities that are
deployed within the group's execution/data centers which are colocated
at the world's major securities trading hubs.
All hires, regardless of background or focus will directly integrate and
report into this global team. Due to the group's points of trading
presence in different time-zones, work at international hours will often
be required. Work will be challenging and individuals will be
encouraged and mentored to grow in related subject areas that will have
long-term benefit to the group.
Compensation will be superior, will recognize individual contributions
and commitment, and will reflect the group's success.
