This isn't legacy bank tech with a fresh coat of paint; it's a modern stack, built by a team that genuinely loves solving hard engineering problems under real market pressure. They're hiring a Junior Quant Developer to join a tight-knit team of technologists working at the intersection of software engineering, mathematics, and live markets.

Start in quant development, get exposure across the full cross-asset stack, and grow toward quant research and strategy work as you build your track record. The team invests seriously in junior talent — mentorship, exposure to senior quants and traders, and a clear runway to shape your own path. What you'll bring: A STEM degree from a top institution (math, physics, CS, engineering, or similar)Strong Python skills — through coursework, internships, personal projects, or professional experienceSolid mathematical/quantitative foundationGenuine curiosity about markets and trading systems — prior finance experience is a bonus, not a requirementA builder's mindset: you want to ship things that matter, not just study them Why this one's worth a look: Cross-asset exposure most junior roles won't give you for yearsModern, high-performance tech stack — no legacy sludgeReal path from dev → quant researchMontreal's fintech/quant scene is genuinely heating up — get in early with a team that's building, not maintaining
