POSITIONS:

Senior Associate

We are a growing company, and project leadership opportunities abound. We offer a fast-paced and challenging work environment with an opportunity to help grow a small company. Our internal structure is very flat and we need experienced, hands-on team leaders that are as comfortable leading developers as they are working with clients to develop business requirements and architect software solutions. We value performance and project delivery and a significant bonus component is built into our compensation structure.

 
Applicants should have 5+ years experience in software development, application architecture and design. They should be able to lead a small team of associates in everything from specification and design, to development and testing, to implementation and support.
 

Associate

At Galatea, technical excellence is a must, but we differentiate ourselves by combining technical skills with a firm understanding of the financial services industry and core business problems. Securities transaction processing is a multifaceted business that touches almost every area in a brokerage firm and to meet the varied challenges, we hire intelligent, dedicated software engineers who are capable of learning our clients' business and the technologies a project requires.

All Associates are involved in the full software development life cycle for most projects. This means developing requirements, designing, implementing, testing, and (for a short time) supporting the applications we build. We believe that this approach maximizes responsibility for each team member with the added benefit of making the work more challenging and interesting.

Candidates must have at minimum a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with mature programming languages and database management systems (Java, Perl, C#, Flex, .NET, SQL, Sybase, DB2, XML, SOAP, Spring etc.) is required. Financial industry experience is not required, but is a plus.

 

Intern

Like an Associates position, technical excellence is a must when we look for an intern. We also hope that an intern would have the curiosity in finance to learn our very closely held financial knowledge.  As an intern, you would be involved on a real application that will end up in a production environment at one of our clients.  This could involve developing requirements, designing, implementing, testing, and (for a short time) supporting the applications you build.

Candidates must be in at minimum a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field as a junior or above. Familiarity with Java is required. Financial experience is not required.
