The TIM is a subscription service that allows brokers and their clients to screen and evaluate the performance of their trade ideas, a process known as alpha capture. The TIM has become the leader in this market attracting over 200 sell-side and 100 buy-side firms globally. The service has a strong following globally, but there is significant potential for growth.

Our systems are written in Java, Javascript, Scala and Groovy/Grails, however we use and contribute to open source technologies such as Apache Tomcat, Hibernate, and MySQL.
We use agile development techniques and tools such as test-driven development, pair programming, and continuous integration, adapting these to our needs as necessary at regularly held retrospectives involving developers, operators, support staff, and senior product owners. We are committed to on-going training during slack time and regularly scheduled coding dojos (see http://www.codingdojo.org/).
We have an active research programme focused on improving and expanding our core technology.
We expect our developers to develop rapidly, deploy new code regularly, test constantly, and help us continuously to improve our development processes.
We keep our teams small and filled with smart people, who work interactively with our customers and with our internal business analysts.
