Job Specifications

Software Engineer - Quantitative Trading

We’re partnering with a Quantitative Equities Trading org, who are hiring Software Engineers. The mission: help researchers move faster, test better ideas, and get models into production cleanly and reliably. This isn’t a support role and it isn’t pure infra - you’ll sit right at the intersection of engineering, math, and markets.

The environment feels closer to a research lab or an early-stage startup than a large trading floor - but with the resources, data, and stability you’d expect from a top-tier firm.

What you’ll actually work on

Designing and owning the distributed systems that allows Researchers to backtest their trade ideas, to shorten the idea → experiment → result loop.
Working side-by-side with quants to turn research code into profit generating models in production
Taking ownership of the monitoring and tweaking of revenue generating algorithms in production

Who this tends to work well for

Software engineers who enjoy algorithmic problem-solving, not just product features.
People with a math, physics, or quantitative mindset - whether formal or self-taught.
Engineers who like owning systems end-to-end and iterating on them over time.
Engineers coming from big tech, startups, or research environments who want their work closer to the “decision-making engine.”

Why people join (and stay)

Small teams, real ownership, and visible impact on research and trading outcomes.
Engineering decisions actually matter - performance, correctness, and design are taken seriously.
A culture that values deep thinking, clean systems, and long-term reliability over hype.
The autonomy of a startup with the scale, data, and compute of a world-class firm.
