LogicBlox, Atlanta, GA - Database Systems Hacker, C++, - Compiler Hacker, Java - Application developer, no specific language requirement, but logic programming/Java/python helpful.

Meshcapital is hiring. We are in Jersey City, NJ, about 6 minutes from lower manhattan via path train. We are a 3 person hedge fund. We do high frequency trading, emphasizing market making and short term speculation in the long tail of equities markets. We are looking for good developers - no finance background is required. Instructions on where to send your resume are contained in our application (you'll need to dec…

I solved the problem, but before doing the real work of updating my CV -- could you please write a little bit about the job, to avoid wasting time for us both? :-) (And I know, it is not really a waste to update your CV.) Edit: For instance, are Europeans and other aliens a possibility? Edit 2: Thanks. But I've probably forgotten too much math. :-( And you should get enough people anyway, sounds like a cool place.

We have an automated trading system which plays the stock market and makes us a bunch of money. The job consists of extending the trading system, developing new strategies (note: strategy == code), and some maintenance work (making our FIX talk to their FIX, tax calculations, etc). You should be ready to be involved in all aspects of the company - specialization is for insects . Yesterday I did numerical optimization, today I'm trying to make trac work with apache.

Bug reports tend to start off very vague: "We haven't made any money this month on $SET_OF_SECURITIES" or "We seem to lose $BIGNUM in $SHORT_TIME several times a day, WTF!"

We don't much care about your experience with any particular technologies. We are a Java/Ruby shop, but my resume has neither Java nor Ruby written on it (I last used Java in college in 2001). We also aren't looking for managers (with 4 people management is irrelevant) or interface designers (we are all happy with the command line).

Aliens are cool, but you will need to move here (I'm the only USian here).
