Citadel Securities' newest JPMorgan hire has a quirky CV
One of the most common pitfalls in a technology CV for financial services jobs is the technologies section. Headhunters have told us that you should avoid a long-winded list both of all the technologies you're an expert in, and of the ones you pretend to be an expert in. If you need inspiration for a workaround, look no further than the latest hire at Citadel Securities.
Miller has joined the electronic trading firm as a senior engineer from JPMorgan, where he was a VP. He's part of the growing contingent of engineers to join Citadel and Citadel Securities from the bank; we've mentioned in the past that Citadel's head of core engineering Niel Slinger has a propensity for hiring old JPMorgan colleagues.
His CV is available as a webpage rather than a PDF (please don't use a .docx file), and has an intriguing feature: an interactive timeline of all the technologies he has used professionally and the years he used them. He is understood not to have used the CV as part of his application process, although it is still accessible via his LinkedIn
This is what it looks like. On Miller's webpage, clicking each technology provides a breakdown of all the roles in which Miller used it.
In Miller's experience section, he also includes the individual tech stacks he used in each of his previous jobs. At JPMorgan, where he worked across multiple teams, he differentiated which tech stacks he used in each. His most recent role in commercial and investment bank (CIB) application management, for example, included JavaScript, React and Storybook among others.
Of course, a flashy CV isn't what got Miller his job at Citadel Securities. Miller has a wealth of experience, spending five years at JPMorgan and a collective 3.5 years across Standard Chartered and HSBC, as well as various other roles. In that time, he worked on multiple flashy projects, including a no-code tool (a precursor to vibe coding) for building React applications at JPMorgan.
