Team Overview

We are looking for Quantitative Developers to join our Research group. We are a collaborative, data-driven, intellectually rigorous team responsible for coming up with investment ideas, codifying those ideas into signals, back-testing the signals, and producing return, risk and trading cost forecasts based on the signals to drive trading decisions. We maintain a friendly, team-oriented environment and place a high value on professionalism, attitude and initiative.

Our quantitative development team within Research is responsible for the tools, APIs, libraries and software engineering techniques to support faster generation, evaluation and productionization of investment ideas.

As a Quantitative Developer, you will help build our next-generation Research data platform leveraging open-source, cloud and distributed computing technologies. You will work on high-impact projects that are quickly adopted and drive change across the team.

  • Designing and creating software to enhance our data science technology stack
  • Performing ad-hoc exploratory statistical analysis across multiple large complex data sets from a variety of structured and unstructured sources
  • Implementing performance improvements in our data analysis and numerical programming code
  • Running POCs to evaluate new technologies and libraries in the PyData ecosystem
  • Staying up to date on the PyData ecosystem and evaluating new libraries and tools
  • Working with software engineers to design feeds for new data sources from third-party vendors

Qualifications

  • An undergraduate or graduate degree from an educational institution in computer science with a quantitative application such as mathematics and/or finance, or vice versa – a quantitative degree with a computer science application
  • 1 - 3 years of relevant experience required
  • Demonstrated professional or academic success
  • Strong analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving skills
  • Experience implementing production-grade Python code for a data analytic business, preferably in investment management

  • Expertise in OOP paradigms, data structures, and numerical algorithms
  • Understanding of probability and statistics, including linear regression and time-series analysis
  • Curiosity and a willingness to learn new technologies
  • Interest in financial markets (prior experience not required)
  • Excellent communication skills, including data visualization
  • High energy and strong work ethic

In addition, experience with any of the following would be valuable:

  • Some experience programming in R with tidyverse packages
  • High-performance computing
  • Distributed computing
  • Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, and related technologies
  • SQL
  • Unix/Linux system tools and environment
  • Basic familiarity with unit testing, continuous integration, DevOps, containerization

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
