Being a solid coder isn't going to cut it at Citadel Securities anymore. Citadel Securities, which generated about $7.5 billion in revenue last year, is now focused on hiring thoughtful technologists who drive commercial outcomes for the firm. We're looking for people who can drive a big commercial impact for the firm," Aaron Moss, head of technology recruiting for Citadel Securities, told Insider. In one recent case, Citadel Securities extended an offer to a promising young intern, even though the hiring manager had been looking for a more experienced hire. "The industry is getting very high level with things like AI, which push people even further away from that understanding," Neff told Insider.
