Green Office Manager

MarketFactory is a high-growth company founded in July 2007 with the goal of making a positive impact on the world, starting with the world of financial services. We want to be a leading technology platform company, focusing initially on electronically traded markets.

We are a team of engineers, developers, business analysts and quants who embrace Agile development, unit testing, and open source tools and libraries. We characterize ourselves as analytical and creative, with an appetite for the occasional risk. Our adventures include waterskiing off the back of a catamaran, building a motorcycle and driving it cross country, climbing the inside of a factory smokestack, and swimming a collective 25 miles in the Hudson River.

We are developing a platform that focuses on the thorniest problems in trading; speed of light issues in message transmission, dynamically generated markets, rapid liquidity provision.

Every employee in the company is an equity owner. It's important that we build a performance-based culture free of politics and hidden agendas, where everyone acts like it's their business, because it is.

While we're still an early-stage startup, we'd like to start giving a little back now. We've donated 1% of our founder's equity to a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization called MarketFactory Foundation and in the future hope to donate more towards supporting the communities in which we live and work.
