Hello all,

We're excited to G-Research's Coding Challenge 2016, which will be at the department on Saturday of 3rd week. It will be great to see lots of CompSoc members there, but you don't need to be a member to register.

We also have our usual Geek Night this Saturday (2nd) with code golfing, and a Palantir talk next week.

If you're interested in joining the society, please remember to bring five pounds to any of our upcoming events, and we can provide you with a membership form.

Have a great week,

Thomas and the rest of the committee

G-Research Coding Challenge 2016

Room 051, Department of Computer Science - 5:00pm Saturday (3rd week)

G-Research is a well-established and rapidly growing firm with a leading platform for developing quantitative research and systematic investment ideas. We have created a community designed to inspire the best minds in the world to tackle the toughest intellectual challenges and deliver the best work of their careers. Our platforms and technologies are constantly evolving to meet the real-world scenarios we throw at them and we are seeking world-class software engineers to join us.

Can your code beat the markets?

Test your coding skills and systematic investment ideas on our simulated stock exchange. 1st place wins a £50 Amazon voucher for each member of your team, swag and other prizes for runners up!

Which team will turn the largest profit?

Here's a great chance to test your problem solving and coding skills, and to see what it's like to work in a dynamic, innovative environment on the cutting edge of finance and technology. Teams of three or four students will have one hour to devise and code their investment ideas to run on our simulated exchange.

Final strategies will be run through the exchange and will compete against other teams. Pizza and drinks afterwards, plus opportunities to network with current staff to find out more about life at G-Research.

To register please either enter individually (any individual entries will be allocated into teams on the day) or in a team by sending names to graduates@gresearch.co.uk.


The Oxford University Computer Society (CompSoc) aims to organise meetings and events for our members to use and further their computing interests. See all of our upcoming events on our Facebook Page or visit our Website for more information about the society.
