About The Position

At IEX, we’re passionate about building technology that moves industries forward. Our story began when we built a stock exchange designed to deliver high-performance results for all investors.

We aspire to build a trusted, disciplined, and diversified business. Our goal is to build transformative technology without ever compromising our integrity - and we’re just getting started!
