Be excited to learn from and work with experts in other disciplines

Have a strong sense of ownership, a sense of humor, and strong collaboration skills

You’ll be an even better fit if you:
Have a background or interest in financial modeling, financial technology, or capital markets

Engineering at Canalyst

While the Data Integrity and Client Toolkit teams focus on C#, .NET Core & Framework, VSTO, and Aspose.Cells, the systems built by the broader Engineering department also use Python with Django and TypeScript with ReactJS.

We strive to provide an environment that fosters learning and runs effectively because of our commitment to open and empathetic communication.

How we support your growth:
Regularly scheduled learning opportunities (software related reading groups, and market recaps from senior analysts)

A day put aside every month to work on something that inspires you
