Now raising intellectual capital
Meet Jason, a former Sergey colleague
Jason is one of the more than 100 programmers working on the secret sauce code that drives Goldman Sachs’ automated trading systems–also known as high-frequency trading.
How do I know? Well it says so here, on a Goldman promotional web page, where “real” employees for the firm talk about their jobs and their lives.
I’m assuming Jason (no last name given) is a real person. There is a photo of him. He tells us he works in Japan in the equity trading group. And Jason talks about coming to ”Goldman Sachs through campus recruiting at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.” Â
But Jason’s brief personal biography is not so interesting as the description of what he does for Goldman, which involves “developing and servicing high-frequency, low-latency applications for trading systems.”
