Quantitative Developer | Trading Team

Jump Trading Group is committed to world class research. We empower exceptional talents in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science to seek scientific boundaries, push through them, and apply cutting edge research to global financial markets. Our culture is unique. Constant innovation requires fearlessness, creativity, intellectual honesty, and a relentless competitive streak. We believe in winning together and unlocking unique individual talent by incentivizing collaboration and mutual respect. At Jump, research outcomes drive more than superior risk adjusted returns. We design, develop, and deploy technologies that change our world, fund start-ups across industries, and partner with leading global research organizations and universities to solve problems. At Jump, we bring together world class talent, battle tested infrastructure, and serious research intensity to build and scale trading strategies across every asset class and time horizon. Equities as an asset class is competitive, global and fast growing, and we participate in the world’s equity markets via a vast array of businesses. Researchers coalesce around projects that may be market specific (investigating eccentricities and opportunities in specific venues or regions), latency specific (HF vs. Mid or Low Frequency), and research approach (ML vs. Deep Learning vs. hand crafted alphas; or groups focused on different swaths of data sets requiring deep expertise and focus). Our environment is a collaborative one, seeking to strike the balance between deep focus and expertise where needed, and the freedom to chase ideas across boundaries. Hierarchy and compartmentalization are not what we are about. We are looking for experienced Quantitative Developers to join a “mixed frequency” research group (horizons range from many minutes to many days). It’s a flat, fast moving, collaborative environment where each member has agency, and of whom much is expected. The team is global, as is the research and development. What You'll Do: You’ll contribute to one or more of the following projects: Production Trading Systems and Live Operations: Own the reliability, observability, and operational performance of the firm’s live trading environment during market hours. Monitor live systems in real time, act as a primary responder to production issues, and work closely with quantitative researchers and engineers to investigate, mitigate, and resolve incidents affecting trading, risk, or system stability. Production Tooling, Deployment, and Operational Safety: Build and improve internal tools, dashboards, alerts, and automation to support live trading operations and reduce manual intervention. Design and maintain robust testing, deployment, rollout, and rollback processes for production changes, and strengthen production safety through health checks, failover mechanisms, and operational controls. Microstructure research: Develop tools to enhance research on market microstructure, collaborating with researchers to generate and analyze key features. Data Pipeline and System Management: Engage in full-cycle development, including research, coding, testing, and deploying systems into production. Provide direct support to end users, troubleshoot issues, and manage system upgrades. Skills You'll Need: 2+ year track record of solving challenging problems through coding with real metrics & impact in industry. Strong software development skills in Python and/or C++, with the ability to build efficient, modular, and reliable systems. Strong production engineering skills in Linux environments, including troubleshooting, scripting, monitoring, and operating real-time systems under pressure. Experience with modern infrastructure and deployment practices such as CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, containerization, and observability tooling is advantageous (e.g. GitLab, Jenkins, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana). Strong learning ability, intellectual curiosity, versatility, and originality combined with a pragmatic outlook. Ability to reason through quantitative problems and communicate effectively with quantitative researchers and engineers. Reliable and predictable availability to ensure smooth operations of production systems, including responsiveness during trading hours when needed. Over two years of experience working with industrial-grade codebases using compiled languages such as C++ is advantageous. Familiarity with high-performance computing (HPC) and distributed large-scale systems is a plus. #J-18808-Ljbffr Dormont Manufacturing Co
