It’s a network of engineers at Citadel. Through NXT, we hire high-performing engineers who have two to five years of commercial experience looking to transition into the finance industry. Engineers are hired directly onto teams across all of Citadel’s engineering functions, from “front office” strategies, including our quantitative strategies, to our business operations teams.
For the first two years, engineers in NXT can take advantage of technical and professional skills development aimed to help accelerate their careers at the firm.
It’s not a program for new graduates. It’s also not a rotational program.
