  • Kdb careers for fresh grads?

    Posted by FlawlessFendun on June 12, 2025 at 1:38 am

    I am a master fresh grad in HK, and I knew this language from a algo trading course. I am really interested in kdb+/q and have been learning from several months, including the language itself and other gadgets like Kafka. But I noticed that the majority of kdb jobs are requiring like 2+yrs, 5+yrs or even more experience with kdb. I wonder how kdb developers secure their first jobs as a fresh grad and with simply 0 trackable experience?🤔

    Hi FlawlessFendun. KX is aiming to launch a job board and talent recruiting pipeline directly with our customers for our community users later this year. Part of this will also be fueled by the Academic Program we are relaunching. There are many companies looking for kdb talent, we hope to better facilitate the connection to our community.

      Looking forward to the job board. Do we have a expected time of the release?
