Our trading system:

As a trading company, one of our proudest moments was going live with our very own trading system, developed from scratch by our excellent engineers. Melzi, named after Leonardo Da Vinci’s favourite student, was designed with our very own unique needs and priorities in mind. Since launching, our traders have been very excited to work with this custom-made and highly efficient system.

Process:

HR Interview: If your experience and profile match what we look for, we will invite you to an initial conversation with the recruiter. In this conversation, you will learn more about Da Vinci and give us the opportunity to get to know you better. We will assess whether your soft skills and motivators fit our way of working.

Coding challenge: This take-home assessment will give you a chance to understand the role further through similar tasks to the ones you’ll encounter on our trading floor. It allows us to assess your coding skills, as well as your approach to problem solving.

Technical Interview: During this conversation with one of our lead engineers you will get to geek out on your knowledge of computer science and C++ programming.

Final Round: This is a combination of an in-dept technical interview where you will do some live coding, and a final HR interview.
