An Insider's view of PEAK6
How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?
This is very important and luckily, we feel it’s something attainable for our employees. We have a generous time off policy, in addition to other affiliated vacation perks and leave benefits.
For example, to help employees save time on conventional tasks, we offer complementary services in the office, such as manicures, massages, and yoga classes.

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?
Our developers are also a part of the decision-making process. We help our technologists take an interest in the business side of things - they know how the end product should work. Our developers know how the traders are going to use a product and after a product is delivered, the developer stays involved – making sure that things work efficently.

QA Development Lead
How does the company support your career growth?
We have a big focus on career growth, especially for those in technology. Because of our size, there are opportunities to prove yourself and rapidly increase your responsibility on a team. And because of Peak6’s culture of constantly trying new things, there are often opportunities to get in at the ground floor of new ventures in a leadership role

What unique initiatives do you have that encourage innovation?
We organize “tech days” where employees are encouraged to work on tech projects of their choosing. Projects have ranged from mobile apps to Sega emulators to workflow improvements for our developers. Recently, tech days took the form of a more formal hackathon, in which technologists and traders teamed up to prototype several new trading tools.

Software Engineer
What projects are you most excited about?
The technology stack here at PEAK6 is incredibly diverse. We leverage many modern, open source technologies—such as Kubernetes and Kafka— on top of modern programming languages like Python and Go, which enables us to develop new and exciting solutions. We hold multiple Tech Days and Hackathons for employees to work on any idea or technology.
