  • Solve the type of challenging engineering problems that come with building a highly interactive trading experience

  • Collaborate with the backend development team to enhance our UI experience

  • Partner with our product, design, and QA teams to customize the trading experience for the iOS and Android platforms

Who you are

  • You’ve built applications for either iOS or Android using Swift or Java (familiarity with Objective-C or Ruby is ideal)

  • You have experience working with general software development, managing a shared REST API library, and writing unit tests.

An Insider's view of IGNA | tasty

What’s the vibe like in the office?

We’re in a fast-paced industry, but no matter how busy people get, no one’s ever too busy to help a colleague out. We’re surrounded by smart, driven people and the collaboration amongst the teams is the reason why we are constantly growing. Plus, there’s free food and puppies to get you through the day!

Project Manager

How does the company support your career growth?

Because we're on a relatively small team, I feel I'm able to make more of an impact. I often see features I've worked on reflected on the platform in real time: Something that's incredibly satisfying. And best of all, I get to learn from ridiculously talented senior engineers who have become not only mentors, but also close friends.

Div

Senior Software Developer

How does your team reward individual success?

I've been privileged to be involved with tastytrade since its launch and I'm constantly amazed at our growth and what we continue to accomplish as a group. New ideas are encouraged which keeps everything fresh and exciting on a daily basis, which I think is extremely rare in the financial industry.
