Job Application for Design Engineer at Moment

FULL-TIME | NYC (IN-PERSON)

About Moment

Moment is building the first operating system for fixed income, the largest financial market in the world valued at $150T+ globally. We work with the largest financial institutions to bring all of their fixed income operations into a single platform. Founded by former quants at Citadel Securities and Jane Street, Moment serves global financial institutions with over $3.5T in assets after publicly launching in 2024.

The fixed income market is undergoing rapid transformation:

Electronic trading has skyrocketed, with corporate bond electronic volumes growing 10x over the last decade
Rising rates - from near zero to roughly 5% - have sparked a surge in demand
Financial institutions are increasingly partnering with fintechs to modernize legacy infrastructure
AI advances are enabling workflow automation that was once thought impossible

Despite the market’s scale, most workflows remain incredibly manual: traders juggle multiple screens, portfolio managers exchange sprawling spreadsheets, and critical coordination still happens by phone or chat. Moment is unlocking a new automation paradigm for the industry by unifying these workflows into one system.

We're backed by world class investors including Index, A16Z, and Lightspeed, and have raised $56M in funding. We recently raised a $36M Series B by Index. You can read Bloomberg's coverage of it here and the memo Index wrote on why they invested.
