- Potential for additional responsibilities based on individual interests and specific skills.

- Familiarity with Linux/Unix environments and basic networking concepts.
- Detail-oriented with a strong work ethic and eagerness to learn quickly.
- Genuine interest in algorithmic trading and financial technology.
