Role

Quantitative Developer | Location: New York | Type: Full-time, Front-Office

Only a handful of firms globally offer roles of this calibre, where front-office technologists and researchers directly build the analytics, execution systems, and risk engines that power multi-billion-dollar equity portfolios.

This is not “finance plus tech.” It’s a chance to sit inside the engine room of one of the most successful hedge funds in the world.

The Role

• Design and engineer tools for portfolio construction, execution, and risk management.
• Partner directly with researchers, PMs, and traders; your code goes into live production, not into a drawer.
• Build scalable platforms and curated datasets that sharpen global trading performance.
• Contribute to signal research, optimisation, and execution strategies that define the firm’s edge.

Why This Matters

• Direct PnL Impact — your systems are embedded into billion-dollar strategies, where every line of code matters.
• Elite Peer Group — collaborate with engineers and quants drawn from FAANG, DeepMind, OpenAI, and top PhD programs.
• Scarcity — this team rarely expands; seats are limited, and opportunities are few.
• Trajectory — alumni have advanced to Head of Research & Engineering roles across the industry within just a few years.

What We’re Looking For

• Background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or related fields.
• Strong Python skills, with experience handling large, complex datasets.
• Intellectual curiosity matched with commercial instinct, motivated to apply research and engineering for impact.
• Early-to-mid career engineers with exposure to research, looking for impact beyond Big Tech or academia.

Note: Hiring is open now but will close quickly. Once these seats are filled, they won’t reopen anytime soon.
