Software Engineer C++

Description

The company builds a trading, risk management and processing platform for capital markets, used by banks, asset managers, corporations and utilities worldwide.

The team has 9 developers working in an Agile setup, alongside a dedicated QA engineer and Product Owner, mostly based in Paris.
