## Job description

Tower Research Capital is a leading quantitative trading firm founded in 1998. Tower has built its business on a high-performance platform and independent trading teams. We have a 25+ year track record of innovation and a reputation for discovering unique market opportunities.

Tower is home to some of the world’s best systematic trading and engineering talent. We empower portfolio managers to build their teams and strategies independently while providing the economies of scale that come from a large, global organization.

Engineers thrive at Tower while developing electronic trading infrastructure at a world class level. Our engineers solve challenging problems in the realms of low-latency programming, FPGA technology, hardware acceleration and machine learning. Our ongoing investment in top engineering talent and technology ensures our platform remains unmatched in terms of functionality, scalability and performance.

At Tower, every employee plays a role in our success. Our Business Support teams are essential to building and maintaining the platform that powers everything we do — combining market access, data, compute, and research infrastructure with risk management, compliance, and a full suite of business services. Our Business Support teams enable our trading and engineering teams to perform at their best.

At Tower, employees will find a stimulating, results-oriented environment where highly intelligent and motivated colleagues inspire each other to reach their greatest potential.

Tower is hiring a Technical Project Manager to deliver projects within larger programmes across trading technology, exchange and venue change, and market access. The Technical Project Manager will work with trading, development, production engineering, network and infrastructure teams, and will help the team adopt AI to run projects faster and with accuracy.

- Supporting the move into MFT and asset management by planning the data, connectivity, environment and tooling needed to bring new strategies into production
- Coordinating data centre and colocation work, including hardware and network installations, migrations and capacity changes
- Running release governance for your projects: release reviews, pre-deployment meetings, checklists and coordination of support groups during release windows, escalating issues
- Gathering requirements in internal and external meetings (exchanges, vendors, brokers) and turning them into clear summaries for engineering, operations and trading
- Maintaining accurate plans and documentation in Jira, and Confluence, and reporting on progress, risks and decisions
- Participating in retrospectives and proposing process improvements
- Using AI tools in day-to-day delivery and identifying opportunities to automate repeatable workflows
- Following and refining the team’s AI guardrails
- Collaborating  with the wider project management group and flagging uses that add risk without saving time

- At least 3 to 5 years in a project management or delivery role in a trading, technology or financial environment; a high-frequency or low-latency setting is preferred.
- Track record delivering cross-team technical projects against firm deadlines, with growing scope.
- Working knowledge of infrastructure and networking (servers, storage, Linux, colocation and data centre concepts) and of how trading systems reach the market. Depth can be built on the job.
- Exposure to FPGA, hardware-accelerated or other latency-sensitive delivery is an advantage.
- Familiarity with exchange connectivity, market data and market access in equities, futures, FX or crypto.
- Hands-on use of AI tools to improve how you work, with examples of time saved, quality improved or process changed. Understanding of how ML models are built, deployed and monitored is a plus.
- Sound judgement, and the confidence to challenge and escalate to traders and technical leads when delivery is at risk.
