Summary ✨ AI‑Generated

A software engineering role focused on building distributed infrastructure for research and data-intensive workflows. The position involves improving scalability, reliability, and efficiency of large-scale computing systems.

Highlights

Build high-scale engineering systems with direct impact on research workflows, experimentation speed, and reliable data processing.

Description

Software Engineer – Research Platform A leading quantitative investment firm is building out the research platform that powers how its quantitative researchers develop, test and ultimately deploy new trading strategies. The engineering goal is to make that research loop faster, more accurate and more scalable: enabling researchers to run more experiments, backtest ideas faster and with greater confidence, and move successful strategies into production sooner. You'll work on the distributed systems, data and compute infrastructure behind that platform, solving large-scale engineering problems with a very direct connection between the systems you build and the firm's trading performance. What You’ll Do Build distributed systems and infrastructure for large-scale quantitative researchIncrease the speed and scale of experimentation and backtestingImprove the accuracy, reliability and reproducibility of research workflowsBuild systems for processing and analysing large volumes of financial dataWork directly with researchers to identify bottlenecks and engineer solutionsHelp reduce the time between a promising research idea and a live trading strategy What We’re Looking For Strong CS fundamentals and experience building production systemsStrong Python, C++ or JavaExperience with distributed systems, large-scale data or compute-intensive infrastructureAn interest in difficult engineering problems where performance and correctness matter No quantitative finance experience required.
