[Chicago] Job opening: Trading Technologies - Senior Software Quality Engineer

[Massimo Di Pierro]

I know people who work there and they tell me it is a great place to work.
What is also important, their software is very popular in the trading industry.

I think, as a general policy, we should try to be more friendly to employers who post on this list since - I assume - we want to encourage them and not discourage from posting. In particular if the job requires Python as a skill and/or when the job is based in Chicago.
