Quantitative Developer (Python/AWS) \| Elite Boston Hedge Fund ($10+B AUM)
I'm partnered with an elite hedge fund ($10+B AUM) in Boston on the build out of a new Quant Dev team. We recently made one hire on this new team, and are planning to make one more additional hire before the end of this year!
The leader of this team headed quant development for a Tier 1 Hedge Fund, so this is a very exciting opportunity to join the team as the 3rd hire and work with an exceptional leader. This role will partner directly with portfolio managers on long-term projects as the lead technical resource; you'll take ownership of designing and building greenfield systems for an investment team for each long-term project (i.e. next-gen quant research platform, analytics, portfolio management, and trading systems).
This is a great opportunity to get direct exposure to the investment process itself, strategy development, and markets. This is a very unique opportunity to come in at the ground floor of a high profile initiative within an extremely successful and established (30+ year) hedge fund.
This is a lean firm with established engineering and infrastructure teams that have been working to modernize their tech stack and build cutting edge tools and applications. There is very little bureaucracy limiting the velocity of development and ideation, and this firm prides itself on its meritocratic culture, internal skills development programs, and internal mobility.
Opportunity:
Work directly with researchers, PMs, and analysts to understand their needs and translate those into technical designs
Architect and develop foundational systems (research platform, analytics, portfolio management tools, etc.)
Gather feedback on new systems, iterate and implement improvements, and help foster adoption of new systems
Skills:
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Math or Physics
5+ years of experience with Python
2+ years of experience as a Quant Developer or Software Engineer directly supporting researchers, portfolio managers, or traders
Nice to have:
AWS
Experience building data intensive dashboards, frontends, or basic UIs
Experience owning/driving complex zero to one initiatives
