Job Description
Company Description
Genesis is a global software company with a pioneering vision, technical innovation, and team that is changing IT delivery. Permanently.
We’ve created the only Low-Code Application Platform (LCAP) designed and built specifically for financial markets, and it’s transforming the industry. Our platform is enabling firms to develop highly performant software in a fraction of the time and costs, and also granting access to an ‘app store’ of applications from our extensive Genesis Application Library. We broke the paradigm of Build vs Buy, offering both possibilities – simultaneously. We are cloud native, interoperable, and promote open-source practices (members of FINOS).
The Genesis LCAP platform makes possible breaking down complex business requirements into functional “bite-size” units like Lego Bricks, offering speed and agility to build and deploy applications. We are financial markets ‘native’ – and our solutions are at the forefront of the change and opportunity happening across financial markets. As most LCAPs we are capable of solving simple Business Process Management (BPM) workflows, but uniquely positioned to solve the complex workflows inherent to financial markets such as electronic trading, real-time risk management, and other complex use cases for instance requiring low-latency and high throughput. Genesis has been selected by global Tier 1 Sell-Side, Buy-Side and Venues as their enterprise LCAP, and we are backed by some of the world’s leading tech investors. We also partner with best-in-class consultants, vendors and other technology firms.
We have a great team, we’re one of the fastest growing FinTech’s, and we are on a mission at Genesis to challenge, invent and improve IT delivery in financial markets. We are looking for like-minded, self-starting individuals to join our diverse and inclusive culture, and make their own unique contribution to the genesis success story. Genesis – Code Less, Do More.
