We have a fun and casual office atmosphere, but everyone works
diligently to get the job done. We boast a flat management structure
as all our people are motivated by the excitement of being at the
forefront of the automated trading world. No politics or red tape
exist to impede the generation or implementation of ideas. One of our
greatest values is work-life balance, so we offer our employees a wide
range of benefits.
