World-class, technology-focused firm
World-class, technology-focused firm
Modern tech stack, greenfield development using new hardware and a great dev environment.
Dynamic environment; developers are expected to expand their skill set and be able to contribute on client and server side too.
No Project Managers! Developers are free to chat with business users directly, brainstorm new ideas, and create innovative solutions.
Great travel and relocation opportunities. Citadel has offices in Chicago, NYC, San Fran, London, and Milano. Employees are encouraged to travel to different locations as part of their day-to-day work.
- Time zone difference.
Sometimes UK and Milan employees stay till late (and US employees start super early) to maximize the time zone overlap between the offices.
