What It's Like to Work at MarketAxess

It's an extremely collaborative and fun environment, and our spaces promote connectivity and teamwork. Our people are energized to be there. You can often find people having lunch meetings in the café or sitting in a team huddle space or working at a white board. We also host many social activities like happy hours, trivia, cooking classes, etc.!

When I first joined, it felt daunting as I knew nothing about finance and had no prior experience working in an enterprise software environment. They definitely gave me the tools I needed to learn everything there was to know about the trading system. We want to hire people who are technically sound and know how to code - the rest can be taught.

I sit between our global client coverage teams and tech development teams. The client teams help to prioritize the most important wants and needs of our customers and in turn, the tech teams deliver solutions to tackle them. The teams are adaptable and open to change, allowing us to all work towards efficiently delivering creative solutions.

It depends on where we are in a given release cycle. We operate under an Agile SDLC, so there's many different pieces of the puzzle you could be on any given day - every day is different. But at the end of the day our developers are really being hands-on and implementing business features that can go out to our customers on a regular basis.
