An elite hedge fund in Boston is growing a high-profile engineering group that works directly with their Quantitative Researchers. They’re in the midst of a greenfield effort to build a cutting edge, research platform, Python libraries, and supporting infrastructure.

This role will collaborate directly with Researchers to own projects from conception to implementation, building POCs, soliciting feedback, iterating, and building full‑scale production systems and tools from scratch. You’ll be a hands‑on thought leader responsible for guiding projects, mentoring other engineers, setting direction, and leading by example every day (this is a 100% hands‑on role).

Responsibilities
Design and build cutting edge quantitative research systems, tools, and infrastructure
Design and build Python libraries for researchers

Qualifications
Experience designing and building Python libraries
Experience designing, building, and driving complex zero‑to‑one initiatives from scratch
Experience working with quant researchers, portfolio managers, or traders to build tooling, applications, or infrastructure

Industry leading compensation and benefits
Hybrid flexibility in Boston office
Chance to join a high‑visibility and impact engineering team building the most business‑critical investment technology solutions
