~2,200 employees, ~950 engineers, ~1,000 traders/researchers, €4.5B trading income and €1.7B profit in 2025, 10M+ trades daily across 100 exchanges (The Pragmatic Engineer). Platform investment at 30–40% versus a typical 15–20% at tech companies. C++ for latency-critical paths, Python for modeling, Rust emerging in research and orchestration, VHDL/SystemVerilog for FPGAs, custom Linux kernels, Kafka, Postgres (they upstreamed nanosecond-precision timestamp work), Databricks, GitHub Actions on bare metal. Option-repricing retreat systems went from seconds a decade ago to nanoseconds. And now the platform team's newest work is an AI gateway and MCP hosting platform. A firm that measures in nanoseconds is building agent infrastructure.
