Full Time Opportunities
Trafigura is on a multi-year redevelopment of
its technology environment which provides sophisticated trading and
risk management systems across our oil, refined metals,
concentrates and hedge fund businesses. The technology set
currently includes Oracle, SQL Server, Scala, Java, Erlang, C# and
F# running on a mixture of Windows and Linux. We practice
agile methodologies and particularly value a very close
relationship between technologists and business users in order to
meet the needs of this fast moving, international commodities
trading business.
We are looking for people who like
responsibility and want a challenge every day. We want to see those
who are opinionated and passionate about technology. In return we
offer a whirlwind tour of the business, rotating around the
different groups within Trafigura; trading, finance, support and
operations before starting your initial 3 month project in
technology. After successfully completing two IT projects you will
then take up a full-time position in the area most suited to your
skills and desires.
Start Date: September 2010.
Academic Requirements: Minimum 2:1 in Computer
Science (or related degree) and fluent English.

Summer Internships
Trafigura are looking for the highest quality
interns to come and experience working life with us. The internship
is a paid position with accommodation provided and will last for
ten weeks. Whilst at Trafigura, each intern will mainly work on an
open source project of their choice, whilst
being encouraged to participate in ongoing development work on
an ad-hoc basis. Successful interns who show a particular expertise
will be offered a permanent position upon graduation.
Candidates should submit a proposal outlining
the project they would like to work on. There are no restrictions
to its nature; although work that may be of benefit to Trafigura is
likely to be looked upon more favourably. However we are flexible
as finding the right candidates is of the greatest importance to
us.
A non-exhaustive list of areas which would
interest us includes:
- 1. Distributed computing
- 2. IDE plugins – especially for Eclipse and IntelliJ
- 3. Libraries for Scala
- 4. Libraries to extend the functionality of the RabbitMQ
messaging service
