CAREERS AT GETCO

Roles in Trading
Traders need a blend of intelligence, intensity, and a desire to win. Experience with probabilistic games – if you’ve tried applying automated processes and probability to the markets, card games, or predicting outcomes of sports events – then GETCO may be for you. If you’ve built your own trading models, even better.

Roles in Technology
Technologists need a blend of intelligence, problem solving, intuition and focus. Our technology team plays an active role and often trades to gain insight and appreciation for market subtleties. Superb skills in development languages or low-latency network infrastructure are essential.
