Hello Competitors!
I'm looking to build a simulated exchange with intrinsic value based on codeforces rating, taking inspirations from the problems and solutions from real-world exchanges.
If you're interested in financial markets and you want to gain a better understanding of the kind of work they do there, this is an easy project to work on to get a ground-up understanding of markets and trading.
You're not required to have any previous financial background. You need to have an interest in learning and enjoy finding and critiquing different solutions to interesting mathematical problems. I recommend applying irrespective of your experience level, I believe there is a lot to learn in the development of a trading system.
I'm looking for 3 positions
Stock Exchange developer — You will develop the back end orderbooks to keep track of all orders and fill them as fast and efficiently as possible. You will learn about the actual implementation of how shorting, options and margins work. You will have to keep track of collateral, market liquidity and slippage, and instrument volatility to make informed decisions about margin calls and open option positions and automatically close those speculative positions.
Algorithm developer and liquidity provider — You will help create liquidity in the market, allowing trades from users to close almost instantaneously. You will be split into two hedge funds, and you will have to come up with strategies to invest your own and other's money. These strategies include risk neutralization, arbitrage, and correlation analysis, and try to remain market-neutral at any time.
Front end developer — You will develop a simple front end that displays stock prices over a timeframe, allow users to make trades, look at the orderbook and the positions of other professional traders.
Your compensation will be between 200-2000 usd based on your contribution and experience level, paid in Toncoin.
