Peak6 software engineer

The complexity of the problem ends up getting broken down into something simple enough to tell a computer how to do it. I like that programming languages are linguistic and philosophical artifacts of an approach to describe solutions to problems.

Learning new ones is a useful way to talk about ideas, to bring them into your practice and to approach different kinds of problems.

I love to create art and write music. I also like to do some hobbyist game development and create interactive stories.

It enables me to incorporate many of my different passions. Creating a DEI Council, a diverse group of team members across our businesses who work to ensure all our employees feel visible, valuable, and heard.

Promoting women of all backgrounds to lead our businesses, because representation matters. Collaboration and exploration help us grow together. Learn More. At PEAK6, collaboration drives everything. Our leaders are accessible and play an active part in your continued success. Risk takers, problem solvers, curiosity seekers and creators are all welcome. Our trading program is vastly different than others you might have experienced. I did one project engineering a system that controlled several pumps in a semiconductor plant.

The customer wanted an update to the software, so my boss and I went to the facility. I hit the update button. Immediately, an extremely loud alarm buzzer went off inches away from me. I nearly had a heart attack, thinking the alarm was on our line, but it turned out it was another piece of nearby but unrelated equipment. It all worked, and the company preserved its uptime.

Today, we continue to leverage our technical ingenuity and operational excellence across several investment areas, spanning early-to-mid growth capital, operational control, trading, and e-sports, while always providing value to the customer.

We are creating a new software team in Belfast to work in Apex Clearing engineering department. This team will work on building a highly available Fractional Trading Platform with high throughput and low latency through cloud infrastructure. The Fractional Trading team are free to explore unique solutions and try fresh ideas whilst writing a new system from scratch as we complete a rewrite of our fractional engine. Our team works together to solve problems.
