Requirements:

  • 4-8+ years
    of professional development experience in
    Modern C++ (C++11 and newer)

    and/or investment management industry.
  • Alternatively, for candidates without finance experience, 8+ years of experience dealing with high-frequency, large-scale data systems.
  • An advanced degree in a quantitative discipline (Math, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Financial Engineering, etc.).
  • Hands-on experience with large, financial databases (e.g., Reuters, MarketQA, Capital IQ).
  • Familiarity with concurrent systems and optimizing response time.
  • Working knowledge of basic statistical and econometric methods.
  • Basic Python
    experience for orchestration and scripting.
  • Familiarity with Python data science modules (e.g., NumPy, Pandas) is a
