About the role
Build and improve distributed research platforms and infrastructure for data processing, simulation, backtesting, and large-scale experimentation. Increase the speed, scalability, and reliability of research workflows, and help move successful research ideas into robust production systems. Candidates should have strong software engineering fundamentals, a STEM bachelor's degree or higher, and experience building complex, scalable, or distributed systems. Strong programming ability—particularly in Python, C, C++, or Java—along with sound systems reasoning, ownership, and interest in working with technical research teams is expected; quantitative finance experience is not required.
