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.

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.

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.
