Software Engineer in Test
We are PEAK6, a leading investment firm, headquartered in the historic Chicago Board of Trade Building, where we first opened our doors in 1997. It’s been over 20 years since we were one of the first firms to develop sophisticated proprietary technology to use in our trading business. Today, we continue to leverage our technical ingenuity and operational excellence across several investment areas, spanning early-to-mid growth capital, operational control, trading, and e-sports, while always providing value to the customer. Throughout the years, we’ve built and operated several financial technology firms, and we continue to evolve. You’ll find a bit of everything here, and we’re always looking to take on new endeavours.
As a SET at PEAK6 Technologies, you’ll have a big impact on the firm across several businesses. You’ll take an exploratory approach to software testing and adopt different testing practices depending on the context in which we’re working. We hire testers who prefer to test software with software but will deploy manual and informal practices eagerly when called for.
Our environment is fast-paced and collaborative, and though our current project is written in Java and deployed to EKS, we routinely encounter and work in different languages, frameworks, and systems. We value engineers who are proficient in multiple languages and frameworks because we know they can quickly learn the next one that comes up. We’ve recently written testing software with Cucumber, JUnit, Golang, and Python.
We want to expand our talented teams and are excited to be creating a new centre of excellence in Belfast. We are building teams that are fully functional with leadership, back- and front-end development, data engineering and testing, located in Northern Ireland.
