Do you feel like you're no longer learning anything? Are you working for a boss that doesn't understand the technical issues you are facing? Is your machine so underpowered that you bring in your own laptop to work on? Not getting the recognition you deserve? If any of the above apply, here's a great opportunity for you. This is a chance to join a small development team for an independent financial research company based in Manhattan. Your role will be quite flexible, working on a variety of different projects. The team is always open to new ideas, with opportunities to work on side projects that you think might have value to the company. With all the chop in the Financial Markets right now, the research industry is a fun place to be. You'll learn a lot and get to talk to some of the smartest people in the business. So what technologies will you be using? C#, .Net 2.0 moving towards 3.5, AJAX.Net, Javascript, SQL Server 2005 (including SSIS), Math & Graphing Libraries are among the list. We're looking for someone with 3 - 5 yrs of related experience.
