About the role

Requires 3–7 years of quantitative development or related software engineering experience, excellent Python skills, and proficiency with pandas and/or Polars, along with hands-on experience handling large datasets and optimizing performance. Candidates should understand quantitative research, backtesting, probability, statistics, time series analysis, and machine learning concepts; low-latency trading experience is a plus.
