akshaydixi··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2016)
I'm extremely sorry about that. This was completely unprofessional on our part. Could I request you to email me your interview and onsite dates, so I can track down exactly where we dropped the ball?

Tower Research Capital LLC | Onsite (New York, Singapore, Gurgaon/New Delhi and London), VISA

Tower Research is a computerized trading firm headquartered in New York City with major offices around the world. Successful electronic trading firms integrate a number of disciplines into order to be successful, including systems engineering, statistics, computer science, finance, and street smarts. Tower Research has assembled a team of outstanding engineers and traders who have built some of the fastest, most intelligent computer systems in the world.

Tower’s high-performance infrastructure is at the heart of what we do, and our Core Engineering team is critical to the continuing success of our business. Software plays a critical role in every part of our business: we consider ourselves a technology company as much as a trading company. The Core Engineering team performs a wide variety of functions, including designing, implementing, and optimizing our trading platform; developing systems that provide easy access to market data and trading simulations; creating tools to analyze data for patterns; and providing real-time trade support and risk management. You can check out our jobs page for the roles we are currently hiring for.

Technologies: We use C++(11/14) to build our trading systems and much more. Automation is mostly handled through Perl and Python scripts. But that is not a strict requirement if you can churn out good documentation :)

You can either apply to the jobs page (https://www.tower-research.com/open-positions/) directly, or email me at akshaydixi+tower at google's email service with your resume and a small blurb about yourself so I can take advantage of our generous referral programme :)

akshaydixi··on Ask HN: What do you want to learn in 2016?
1. LLVM - enough that I can write my own optimisation passes and plug them in along with the regular -O3 ones

2. The ability to understand when and where to use meta programming efficiently. Currently I only have C++ experience, but I've heard things are better with Dlang??

Hi.I had applied a few weeks back but didn't get any response. Do I just consider my status as rejected?
