An Overview of Autonomai and Our Strategic Focus

Founded on a shared vision, we deliver specialist recruitment solutions across high-frequency trading, blockchain, and advanced financial technologies.

The Story Behind Autonomai Recruitment

Founded in 2024 by Mark Burton and James McNicholl, Autonomai Recruitment is a leading search agency with a dedicated focus on the Fintech sector. Our journey into the high-frequency trading space began in 2020, inspired by a shared interest in algorithmic finance after reading Flash Boys by Michael Lewis. This pivotal moment led to a deep exploration of the rapidly evolving HFT landscape, which ultimately shaped the strategic direction of our firm.

Our mission is to drive progress across algorithmic trading, blockchain technology, and financial analytics by connecting innovative organisations with exceptional talent. We deliver targeted recruitment solutions across IT Networks, Infrastructure, Cloud & DevOps, Software Development, Quantitative Research, and Cryptocurrency, enabling our clients to scale effectively and stay ahead in a competitive market.
