About BestEx Research

BestEx Research is a pioneering financial technology and research firm that specializes in designing and developing sophisticated execution algorithms and transaction cost modeling tools for multiple asset classes.

The company provides its services to high-performance hedge funds, CTAs, asset managers, and banks through a traditional electronic broker and in a broker-neutral Software as a Service (SaaS) model.

BestEx Research's mission is to become a global leader in automation and measurement of execution across asset classes, significantly reducing transaction costs for its clients.

The company's cloud-based platform, Algo Management System (AMS), is the first end-to-end algorithmic trading solution for equities, futures, and foreign exchange that delivers an entire ecosystem around execution algorithms, including transaction cost analysis (TCA), an algo customization tool called Strategy Studio, a trading dashboard, and pre-trade analytics in a single platform.

The platform is currently live for US equity and global futures trading.

BestEx Research is disrupting a $100 billion industry by challenging the status quo of stale, black-box solutions from banks and offering next-generation execution algorithms that combine performance improvement with transparency and customization.

The company uses leading-edge technology to support its low-latency, highly scalable research and trading systems with its back end in C++, research libraries in C++/Python and R, and web-based technologies for delivering its front-end platforms.

Our trading software stack is written in C++ 17.

  • Expert-level knowledge of C++ and excellent software design skills
  • Expert-level knowledge of TCP/IP and multithreading
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
