Careers

IT specialist at Tradegate AG

Tradegate AG’s IT department manages two major system environments: first, the electronic trading system of Tradegate Exchange, the largest retail exchange in Europe. Second, the systems that enable Tradegate AG to operate as a market specialist on the exchange.

To ensure smooth trading operations, these systems must be continuously monitored and maintained during live operations. In addition, they are constantly optimized and expanded to meet the growing demands of electronic securities trading. Interfaces to customer systems need to be redefined. Regulatory changes repeatedly require adjustments. New financial products are regularly integrated. And with new features and applications, we expand the functionality of our systems and enhance their performance.

Three teams in our IT department are responsible for these tasks: IT Operations, IT Development, and IT Support. In a coordinated process, these teams work to ensure our systems remain compatible, efficient, and future-proof. Together, they plan and develop new applications, conduct the necessary technical and functional tests, and finally implement them after a final review.

In our IT department, work means close collaboration. Communication is an essential part of the process. And success is always the result of a collective effort.

IT Operating Team

In our IT Operating team, you will be responsible for the operation of software and systems. You should have a broad knowledge of hardware, software and networks - and enjoy using it on a daily basis. We support our systems and applications throughout the entire trading day, from morning to close of trading. If something gets out of hand, we are immediately on hand with our experience and expertise. It is not unusual for members of our team to be on site at one of our two data centres. Whenever trading on the stock exchanges comes to a brief standstill, it is possible to intervene in the systems, make changes or install new systems.

IT Development Team

There is a wealth of exciting tasks awaiting you as a software developer or database specialist at Tradegate AG. The projects range from our trading system to our quoting software and our transaction processing software. With us, you can accompany and help shape product developments from start to finish - from the definition of requirements to design and implementation. As we mainly develop server programs, we mainly use C++.

IT Support Team

Our IT support always has an ear to the customer - and an eye on our IT. As the link between trading and IT, IT Support provides technical support for banks and brokers that are connected to our systems. Its most important task is to understand the wishes and requirements of our customers and to translate them into technical requirements for our IT. In addition, IT support ensures the smooth onboarding of new customers and takes care of the technical testing of updates and applications. To work in IT Support, you should have an analytical mind and a basic understanding of technology. A strong affinity for securities trading is also an important prerequisite. However, an academic degree is not required.
