We’d love if you had: - Hands-on experience with a trade reporting platform (e.g., S&P Global Cappitech, DTCC GTR, Kaizen, Regis-TR). - Experience using APIs or internal reporting tools. - SQL, Python, or other scripting skills to support investigation and automation. - Experience improving or automating operational processes. - Experience supporting reporting across multiple jurisdictions or time zones. ## Who we are Schonfeld is a global multi-manager hedge fund that strives to deliver industry-leading risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
