G-Research in Dallas

I’m a Mathematician by training, having studied at both undergraduate and for my PhD in Mathematics at Imperial College before becoming a software developer.  After a year working in the industry I was approached by a recruiter from G-Research to interview as a developer and I was immediately impressed by the questions they were asking and the high standards that they set for all of their employees.

G-Research has been able to bring together and invest in a variety of backgrounds and expertise to form a friendly culture that seeks to push boundaries wherever possible. They want the people working for them to be the best, which not only means hiring the best candidates but also investing in continued learning and support to keep us at the forefront of our ever-changing industry. For me, that desire to invest in new ideas and embrace new technologies as they continuously evolve is one of the main things that makes G-Research such an exciting place to work.

After completing an LLB at the College of Law, I worked as a Low Latency Market Data Engineer on the sell-side for an Investment Bank before moving to an Electronic Brokerage firm.

I was first made aware of G-Research when I was headhunted by a recruiter who informed me that they were hiring. I chose to apply because of the diverse nature of the role on offer. It was quite rare to find a role in Market Data that combined both commercial and technical elements so I, therefore, thought this would be a good place to expand my experience and career. Once in the interview stage, it was the ambition of the firm communicated to me by senior management that helped me make my decision to work at G-Research.

I studied Computer Science at the University of Bristol and while studying made sure all my summers were filled with internships. This included one at a development house building React Native apps and one here at G-Research writing C# internal applications within the real-time platform group.

I was offered a permanent role at G-Research on graduation and now work in a small team improving trading platform technology.

The people here are great, the challenges are great, and the company is at a size where I can feel noticed. Everyone is so intelligent but I am never afraid to ask questions. This has enabled me to grow rapidly as a developer, while also having the time and space to work on my own personal projects.

I studied Forensic Computing and Security at Bournemouth University and completed a placement year here at G Research in the Security Operations team.  I knew GR had access to a lot interesting and innovative technologies so I was very excited and pleased when I received the internship. After a successful year on placement, I was delighted to be offered a graduate role when I completed my degree.

Being a part of a central support team means you get to learn about multiple areas of the company and see what others teams are involved in. It’s the people here at GR which make it an amazing place to work, everyone is very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. With new technology being developed all the time there’s so many new projects to be involved in and always more to learn.  

I was 2 years into my BA in Computer Science at Cambridge when I first joined G-Research as an Software Developer Intern. I then came back to G-Research after I finished my degree, returning to the data development division as a Software Developer.

I first came across G-Research at a careers fair, where I was looking for something to fill my summer and get some valuable experience. After interning here for three months I knew that I wanted to come back.

I love the fact everyone continues to learn and adapt with the changes in technology. You have the ability to try out new technologies and find the best fit for each application. The company is also very sociable, with monthly company drinks, a summer ball, and an annual weekend away, which is a great way to meet other people around the company. This creates a very friendly work environment. 

I graduated from the University of Milan with both a BSc in Systems and Computer Networks Security and an MSc in Information Security. Having had experience in a number of smaller companies, I was looking for an environment that combined security and research. This was when I came across G-Research. I applied and was hired shortly after as a Security Analyst.

After only a few months, I can say that G-Research really values security. The quality of the investigations and analysis is a priority for the Security division, which is why G-Research is always investing in external training and internal education.

In 2014 I completed a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon. After moving to London, I quickly discovered my passion for coding and transitioned to a programming role, developing optimisation software for the chemical industry.

I joined G-Research in 2019 and couldn’t have made a better decision. Working as part of such an incredibly talented team has been extremely rewarding; in particular I am constantly impressed by the drive for excellence that lies behind everything we do. This motivates me to deliver my best work and to focus on always improving. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and Engineers are given the support they need to be fully productive.
