Who are we?

StratsLab combines the top-level IT skills and deep financial knowledge to deliver innovative products and services. We are a Developers Driven Company. We have high programming skills and participate in exciting projects worldwide.

StratsLab was founded in 2015, by alumni of Warsaw University, Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics (MIM). For several years prior, we worked at top-tier investment banks and hedge funds in London.

At present our team is located in Warsaw and consists of 20 individuals. We execute projects for clients in the financial sector spanning across Poland, Germany, UK, USA, and Japan.

Technologies we work with

The backend is mainly in Python. There are also projects in C++, Go, Rust, and TypeScript.

You can expect to spend around 70%+ of your development time in Python and the rest across a subset of other mentioned languages according to your preferences.

We expect you to be able to be comfortable reading code in any language. We do not expect you to be an expert in all of them, but we do require you to be OK doing a minor change from time to time in a tech stack you aren't using daily (don't worry, it will be reviewed before merging).

We are multi-cloud and are currently in production with AWS and Azure.

D evelopment environment

You configure your work environment yourself, and you have complete freedom in using the software that makes you happy and productive. The default is macOS, but we had a case of someone using Gentoo, so the sky is the limit. As for tooling, we use Git, Jira, Slack, GitLab CI / CD.

What are we looking for?

Proven track record of leading a strong team or spectacular individual contributions.

Advanced knowledge of software design, data structures and algorithms.

Strong interpersonal and communication skills.

Exposure to multiple programming languages and paradigms.

Familiarity with cloud computing such as AWS / Azure / GCP is a plus.

What do we offer?

• An exceptional opportunity to work within a compact organization while being involved in large scale international projects.
• Work in a strong and supportive team, keen on mutual assistance and collaborative brainstorming.
• Possibility to skyrocket in financial expertise in relatively short time.
• Opportunity to work with smartest engineers / quants in New York and London.
• Engagement in the development of highly compelling financial products (e.g. capacity auctions on electricity interconnectors between countries, sophisticated spreads on oil products).
• Opportunity to gain global exposure through international business travels.
• Competitive compensation.
• Performance bonus twice a year.
• Flexible working hours.
• Modern office located in Warsaw (Powiśle), near the metro station.
• Casual monthly team get-togethers.
