WHO WE ARE:

TD Securities offers a wide range of capital markets products and services to corporate, government, and institutional clients who choose us for our innovation, execution, and experience. With more than 6,500 professionals operating out of 40 cities across the globe, we help clients meet their needs today and prepare for tomorrow. Our services include underwriting and distributing new issues, providing trusted advice and industry-leading insight, extending access to global markets, and delivering integrated transaction banking solutions. In 2023, we acquired Cowen Inc., offering our clients access to a premier U.S. equities business and highly-diverse equity research franchise, while growing our strong, diversified investment bank. We are growth-oriented, people-focused, and community-minded. As a team, we work to deliver value for our clients every day.

We are looking for a Senior IT Developer to join the Equity Derivatives team and embrace a broad range of tasks associated with developing application and systems solutions to address business challenges.
The successful applicant will help design and develop technology solutions for stakeholders (primarily trading) within the Equity Derivatives technology team. The work is wide-ranging and could include adding business functionality, improving the system’s non-functional characteristics (e.g., performance or stability), adding new products support or progress the platform towards our future state architecture.
The team employs an agile development methodology and work is prioritized by our stakeholders on an ongoing “just in time” basis. A strong emphasis is placed on software engineering skills. Our team is made up of dynamic and strong technical leads, developers, and BSA’s who build and maintain critical technology platforms in an Agile environment. You’ll be exposed to stretch assignments as you take on large-scale, complex and/or enterprise-wide projects built on the .NET stack.
Teamwork and cooperation are key within this fast-paced environment so good communication skills are essential as well as a collaborative spirit. Candidates are also expected to comply with the bank’s in-office requirements.
Sitting in this position will help expand your knowledge, strengthen your expertise and introduce you to the inner workings of a capital markets trading business alongside a team of seasoned, diversely-skilled technology and finance professionals.
Meaningful work is fueled by meaningful performance and career development conversations with your manager.
