Job Description

Job Description

You will create a groundbreaking data science system for our hedge fund, playing a critical role in taking our business to the next level.

We currently use both industry-standard and proprietary tools. Now is the time to create something that goes beyond industry average which is more powerful and flexible than our current proprietary technology.

This is a true greenfield project. You will work with the President and Managing Director to specify functionality for this foundational initiative. You will have a significant say in selecting the right tools for this task: language, libraries, development environment, etc. Your ability to create effective software, combined with your gift for architecture and design, will enable us to create a system that provides advanced functionality, good performance, and most important, extensibility into the future.

You will be integral in bringing up a new system that will ultimately have an impact on facilitating research, developing new strategies, portfolio management, and trading. You can have immediate impact on our firm along with expansive personal development and transformational contributions in the long run. For that reason, starting compensation is high, and the upside is even more promising as your system produces for the team.

We do not require past experience with finance, trading systems, or even private enterprise. Our primary requirement is true world-class software skill. This position requires a PhD and knowledge of computer science. Compensation will be industry-leading for the right candidate.

Company Description

The next-generation hedge fund. For over a decade, our outstanding people, many of whom have PhDs, have been developing the next generation of technologies, ideas, and strategies. We have been highly successful because of both our technically superior strategies and our brilliant people. We have a close-knit group, distinguished by their interest in our shared success, half of whom are graduates from Harvard, MIT, and Cornell. This lucrative synthesis of human and machine cognition in an intellectually rich, supportive environment is at the core of our firm. We use high-performance real-time systems in a Linux environment. We have experience with H-1B and green card sponsorship, and visa status is not a constraint. All submissions kept confidential.
