Essential Skills & Experience * Strong, hands-on experience with Q/KDB+, including the design, build, and management of large-scale KDB+ environments. * Good understanding of software delivery processes and methodologies. * Solid working knowledge of UNIX/Linux operating systems. #J-18808-Ljbffr Similar jobs, A financial technology firm in London is seeking a Mid Level KDB Developer to join its FX eTrading team.
