Quantitative Software Engineer - Systematic Hedge Fund

Full-time

Acquire Me

Team:

A tech-first hedge fund is looking for an exceptional Quantitative Software Engineer to join a high-impact, elite team working at the edge of algorithmic trading. Small in size but huge in success, this firm deploys systematic, data-driven strategies across global markets - including Equities, Futures, and FX.

You won’t just be building tools - you’ll be partnering directly with world-class Quant Researchers to turn ambitious, moon-shot ideas into real, profitable trades. From alpha discovery to signal research, your work will have an immediate and tangible impact.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Architecting and building custom research infrastructure for alpha estimation, risk modeling, and backtesting
  • Developing high-performance tools and platforms for data analytics and signal generation
  • Writing code that supports both live trading and simulation environments
  • Creating smart, scalable systems for data storage, integrity checks, and pipeline automation
  • Ensuring performance, reliability, and security of mission-critical research infrastructure

What we’re looking for:

  • STEM degree from a top-tier institution
  • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience (Big Tech, hedge fund, prop shop, or start-up background preferred)
  • Deep fluency in Python and/or C++
  • Serious problem-solving chops and a product-driven mindset
  • A sharp commercial instinct and hunger to work at the intersection of tech and finance

Apply or get in touch if this sounds like you..
