Quant Developer
A fast-growing proprietary trading firm is seeking a Quantitative Developer to help build and scale the next generation of its systematic trading platform.

As the platform continues to grow, the firm is investing heavily in centralizing and standardizing its research and trading ecosystem, creating a unique opportunity to have a meaningful impact on both technology and trading outcomes.
The role will initially focus on Python, helping rebuild and modernize key research and production frameworks. Over time, you'll play a significant role in expanding the firm's C++ stack as systems become increasingly performance-sensitive. Ideal candidates should be comfortable operating in both environments and excited by the challenge of bridging research and production.
