This is a build role. What you design goes straight into production and directly impacts live trading and PnL. No legacy code rot, no committee paralysis, no artificial layers. You’ll work side by side with senior researchers and traders who expect speed, clarity, and precision.
The environment is intense, meritocratic, and adult. High output, low ego. If you’re good, you get responsibility fast. If you’re exceptional, your scope compounds.
The Role You’ll design, build, and maintain core trading systems and models used in live strategies. This includes working across research, execution, and infrastructure to deliver fast, reliable, and scalable solutions. You are not a support function here, you are part of the trading engine.
