We’re looking for a Quant Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of rigorous mathematics, high-performance engineering, and real-world financial systems. This is a role for someone who enjoys turning complex quantitative ideas into robust, production-grade software that runs at scale—and under pressure.
The Role
You will work closely with quants, researchers, and traders to design and implement systems that power pricing, risk, and trading strategies. Your work will directly influence live decisions in fast-moving markets, where correctness, latency, and reliability all matter at once. This isn’t just a “build models” role, and it isn’t just “write backend services” either. It’s both—plus the engineering discipline to make it all hold together in production.
What You’ll Do
- Design and build high-performance systems supporting quantitative research and trading workflows
- Translate mathematical and statistical models into production-grade code
- Develop and optimise low-latency services for data processing and execution
- Build robust data pipelines, simulation frameworks, and analytics tooling
- Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers to refine models and assumptions
- Improve research-to-production infrastructure and deployment workflows
We don’t expect you to know everything—but experience in parts of the following stack is highly relevant:
Core Languages: C++, Python, Rust Performance
