- Experience implementing efficient, scalable algorithms from the ground up.
Preferred Background:
- Academic or industry experience in scientific computing or quantitative software development.
- Strong communication skills with ability to collaborate across quantitative and technical teams.
Why Join?
- Work at the intersection of quant research and software engineering, directly influencing portfolio construction and risk processes.
- Be part of a mission-critical buildout impacting how risk is managed across one of the most sophisticated buy-side platforms.
- Collaborate with a world-class team of researchers and technologists in a dynamic and high-performing culture.
- Enjoy a lucrative compensation package and the opportunity to shape next-gen analytics infrastructure.
