What You'll Work On
- Building large-scale distributed systems and research platforms used directly by quantitative researchers
- Developing infrastructure for data processing, simulation, backtesting and large-scale experimentation
- Improving the speed, scalability and reliability of research workflows across large datasets and compute environments
- Designing systems that help researchers move successful ideas from experimentation into production
- Building robust production software where performance, correctness and resilience are critical
What You'll Bring
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, particularly around systems design, data structures and algorithms
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in a STEM discipline, such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or a related quantitative field
- Experience building complex, scalable or distributed software systems
- Strong programming ability, with Python particularly relevant
- Engineers from C, C++ or Java backgrounds are also strongly encouraged to apply
- Ability to reason about complex systems and make thoughtful engineering trade-offs
- Strong ownership mentality and an interest in working closely with highly technical research teams
Previous experience in quantitative finance or trading is not required . These teams actively hire engineers from technology companies, infrastructure teams and other technically demanding environments.
