Graduate Trainee – Algorithmic Trading Systems - Singapore - COMMERZBANK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

Description

Job purpose:

The 18-month Graduate Trainee Programme is designed for recent graduates and applicants must have graduated within the past 12 months. The graduate trainee will gain broad experience in the ATS Cluster, where business experts, engineers (development & operations), chapter leads, and product owners work together as a team. The agile methods support the team members in performing their functions by facilitating a rapid and flexible response to changing conditions and customer needs through an iterative approach and the continual development of new solutions.

The team members organize their own activities, working autonomously and with full accountability. To that end, they are granted responsibility for all processes and systems needed for the products, processes, and services for which they are accountable. Open communications among the team members ensure regular and timely feedback. This enables the team to adopt a "fail fast" approach – i.e. the rapid recognition and correction of mistakes, which permits a quick reaction to changing conditions and customer needs by means of iterative procedures.

The role has a technical focus and acts in the capacity of a cell member.

He/she has an agile and digital mindset, and continually adapts it to changing requirements, using the available development opportunities.

He/she is deployed where his/her knowledge and experience are needed, and therefore demonstrates flexibility regarding assignments to various cells and chapters, even across cluster boundaries.

Upon successful completion of the program, the graduate trainee will be considered for permanent employment opportunities subject to overall strong performance during traineeship and business conditions.
