About the role

  • As a Quantitative Technologist, you will have holistic ownership over the firm's technical ecosystem.

Responsibilities

  • Market Access Platforms: Building normalized gateways that abstract away the complexities of diverse, high-friction exchange protocols.
  • Research Ecosystems: Building distributed simulation environments and data lakes that allow researchers to backtest strategies against petabytes of noisy, real-world data with deterministic accuracy.
  • Reliability Engineering: Designing fault-tolerant systems that maintain high availability even in unstable network environments.
  • Strategy Evolution: Collaborating with researchers to implement and optimize fully automated trading strategies.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in low-level languages (e.g., Rust, C++, or Go) with a strong grasp of memory management, concurrency models, and processor architecture.
  • A rigorous understanding of algorithmic complexity and the ability to apply it to real-time constraints.
  • Systems Programming: Proficiency in low-level languages (e.g., Rust, C++, or Go) with a strong grasp of memory management, concurrency models, and processor architecture.

Company info

  • We are looking for polyglot systems engineers who prioritize the right tool for the job.
