JOB DESCRIPTION:
Are you ready for a different Recruitment Agency Experience * C++ CANDIDATES?

*The candidate experience* is seldom looked at in staffing. Solomon Page Technology Partners has pioneered a new recruitment process that will change your attitude. PREP has been developed and trade marked to service you, the candidate. With PREP, candidates are handled very differently. The recruiting cycle starts off with first contact being made by recruiters who access soft skills and light technical acumen. This is accompanied with informing the candidate about the specific job and company sell points. Next is the Tech2tech phase where one of our technical team members speaks with the candidate. Candidates gain valuable knowledge of the position and what he/she should expect on site. If the candidate is a good fit, they are given a green light and set up for a face to face interview. No resumes stuck in the *black hole*. You will always know where you stand in your job search. Candidates are very thankful that a process is in place where they have a confirmed expectation of what will happen in the recruitment process.

The Role
The successful candidate will join one of our product-oriented team specializing in analytics and display of financial data in such areas as equities, bonds, derivatives, foreign exchange, commodities, mortgage-backed securities, structured products, or law.

Each application team is an entrepreneurial unit handling the complete development life-cycle of its products. Team members work every phase of development from requirements and design to production roll-out and test. Development is incremental, iterative, and always on a short time fuse.

This is an opportunity to join a diverse, industry-knowledgeable, technically skilled group of software engineers who design highly visible products on the platform.

Knowledge of the world financial markets is a definite plus but not a requirement. Superb application development skills, a strong user-orientation, and creativity are requirements.

Qualifications
* 3- 5+ years hands-on C/C++ Development Experience on Unix (or equivalent expertise)
* Strong skills in User-Oriented Design
* Solid Understanding of Data Structures, Algorithms, and Object-Oriented design
* Working knowledge of Financial Markets a plus
* Practical Experience with Unit/ Regression Testing
* Practical experience with Version Control Systems
* Solid verbal and written Communication skills
* Ability to Coach and eventually Mentor team members
* BS/MS/PhD Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Finance or Related Field (or equivalent expertise)
