Operations Analyst

**Company Overview**:
XTX Markets is a leading algorithmic trading company which specialises in equity, FX, fixed income and commodity markets. We trade in large volumes on most of the world’s trading venues, exchanges and directly with clients, entirely in an automated fashion, with around a hundred and fifty staff members, executing many millions of trades each day.

Our company is driven by the work of our quantitative researchers who develop and calibrate our algorithmic models against multi-petabyte datasets on a huge compute cluster that we run in house.

**Culture**:
XTX is not “just another financial services company” or a “fin-tech”, beyond our adherence to the relevant regulation and codes of practice governing our sector within countries where we operate, we view ourselves differently.

For XTX, providing liquidity to financial markets and their customers represents an enormous and difficult set of forecasting problems, the resolution of which requires solving ever larger data and technology problems. To achieve our goal requires exceptional levels of innovation, scientific skill, hard work and passion to provide the best possible value for those individuals and organisations needing access to the markets.

XTX is a company that rewards people on merit and excellence, not necessarily on experience, avoiding the bureaucracy of large organisations and maintaining a flat hierarchy. Work is fast paced, we ensure decision making is efficient and changes are quickly implemented.

People working at XTX enjoy a culture of trust, innovation and scientific rigour. It’s a collaborative and friendly environment where people are highly engaged with their work.
