Do you enjoy building programs in the most efficient, fast and smartest way?
Are you interested in developing an asset management tool that can be used for research, trading and strategy development?
Do you enjoy working in an English speaking environment with a collaborative team?

This is a position where you can:

Learn about portfolio management considerations and operational challenges
Have the opportunity to be responsible for all phases of the development
Understand the basics of technical and fundamental analysis applicable to stock trading

We are a small, inependent asset management organization looking for an individual able to build an analysis tool that integrates the historical prices of securities with calculations based on mathematical formulas.  The software that is under development has various uses in the management of investment portfolios.  The purpose of this software is as a tool to assist in asset allocation, trade discovery and trade setup.  A version of this tool has already been built but is not complete.  What we are looking for is someone who can understand the existing code and expand the functionality.  Simply speaking, this is software which blends time-series data with mathematical operations and does not require a fancy UI.  Since the deadline is late February, this position can start immediately but is only for approximately one month.  Based on additional requirements, this position can extend until March 8.  In addition, we will be looking for a full-time programmer/developer/IT chief starting mid/late April, so as an applicant you can be considered for that position as well.

Requirements:

• Advanced knowledge of Microsoft .NET framework
• VB, C++/C# and object-oriented design
• Strong skills in working with large datasets through SQL queries and an understanding of data modeling logical diagrams required
• Working knowledge of statistical or modeling packages such as SAS or Matlab and/or quantitative research systems helpful
• Sound programming logic, creative problem-solving skills, and excellent documentation habits are necessary
• A professional, detail-oriented, and energetic personality with the ability to work and thrive in an entrepreneurial and team environment. As we are a small organization, your input will be extremely important.  While you should be willing to take direction, sharing your ideas and feedback in a professional manner is even more important and expected.  We do not work in a hierarchical manner, rather, we are a totally flat structure.

The successful candidate will work with large datasets and translate user requirements and needs into programming or technical specifications and recommend solutions. You will face interesting challenges and be counted on to creatively determine how best to get your job done. You must value the free exchange of ideas, soliciting critical feedback to make your work better, and, above all, finding the best solution to the challenge at hand.

Duration:

1 month (Jan. to late Feb/Mar), full-time, immediate start preferred
