As a Software Engineer reporting to Patrik Bengters, you’ll play a critical role in building, delivering, and maintaining Index & Analytics products and services for Nasdaq’s global customers.
 

Index & Analytics Engineering operates like a small company within Nasdaq, owning the full development lifecycle - from pre-sales and customer requirements through design, development, testing, deployment, training, and ongoing 24/7 support. We have a very flat organization where everyone encouraged to contribute on equal terms.
 

You’ll thrive in this position if you take a pragmatic approach, bring a strong “let’s do this” attitude, and have a passion for building high-quality technology in a collaborative, global environment. Are you a professional in building scalable AWS solutions? Phenomenal! If not, with us you'll get a chance to become one!
