About the role
Design and develop high-performance research and trading systems in Python and C++, supporting systematic investment strategies. Build and improve data-processing systems, research tools, model-evaluation capabilities, and performance-critical production infrastructure in collaboration with quantitative researchers and portfolio managers. The role seeks a strong software engineer with experience in Python and/or C++, ideally gained in data-intensive, distributed, or performance-sensitive environments. Financial services experience is not essential; the position calls for the ability to address complex engineering challenges and contribute to scalable, reliable systems and technical architecture.
