IT specialist at Tradegate AG
To ensure uninterrupted securities trading across the connected exchanges, our systems must be monitored and supported during live operations. They are also continuously optimized and expanded to meet the growing demands of electronic securities trading. Interfaces to client systems must be redefined. Regulatory changes frequently require adjustments. Current products are regularly integrated. New features and applications continuously expand our systems’ functionality and improve their performance.
Three teams are responsible for these tasks within our IT department: IT Operations, IT Development, and IT Support. These teams work together in a coordinated process to ensure our systems remain compatible, efficient, and future-proof. Together, they plan and develop new applications, subject them to necessary technical and functional testing—and install them after a final review. Work in our IT department therefore means close collaboration. Communication is an essential part of the workflow. And success is always the result of a team effort.
IT Operations
In our IT Operations team, you will be responsible for running quoting, trading, and settlement software and the associated systems. You should bring broad knowledge in hardware, software, and networking. We manage our systems and applications hosted in three data centers throughout the entire trading day—from early morning to late evening. We place particular emphasis on system resilience to ensure smooth processing even under extreme trading volumes.
IT Development Team
A wide range of exciting tasks awaits you as a software developer or database specialist at Tradegate AG. Projects range from optimizing our existing quoting, trading, and settlement systems to developing entirely new software components as we launch new products and enter new business areas. With us, you can take part in product development from requirements definition to design and implementation. Since we primarily develop server programs, our main programming language is C++.
IT Support Team
As the link between trading and IT, our IT Support staff are responsible for the functional support of banks and brokers connected to our systems. Their main task is to understand the wishes and requirements of our trading partners and translate them into functional requirements for our IT department. They are also responsible for the functional testing of updates and applications. To work in our IT Support team, you should have analytical thinking skills and a solid technical understanding. A strong affinity for securities trading is also an essential requirement.
