Full Job Description
Quantitative Developer
The Role
The Quantitative Developer role on our team has evolved substantially in light of recent AI developments.
Developers now focus on the larger architectural problems: the platforms and core tools that power the team's workflows, and their speed, reliability, and safety.
Developers also maintain our live trading systems and work with our traders throughout the trading day.
How We Work
Like a startup. We do not have a slow-moving ticket queue or product managers. We resolve problems quickly and aim to ship the same day.
AI-native. AI agents are central to how we build. The value of the developer is directing agents to work on the right tasks and holding their output to a high standard.
Immediate ownership. The team is lean. You will very quickly lead projects which directly impact trading.
In office. We work from our Hudson Yards office every day. Traders, researchers and developers all sit right next to each other.
Our Stack (any is a plus)
Python (Polars), Linux
Redis, Postgres, ClickHouse, Iceberg, Airflow
TypeScript / React
Rust, C++
Preferred Experience
3+ years of experience as a software engineer
Experience in trading or finance
Very strong in Python
A software engineer first. This is not an options pricing or modeling role.
