– Little red-tape
– Work directly with founders
– No room for egos – the focus is on creating the most efficient code and making everyone money – very flat structure

Finance experience not required – latency experience (e.g. in both finance and gaming) is more important
There is a large focus on deliverables, and bonus etc is based on the work that you put in, and the success of the company. The small team nature means that you’ll see your impact correlate directly into the business.
- Up to 150k + bonus
- 4 days in-office 1 day remote
- 3 stage interview process (no take-home test)
