Deep experience with Python in a high-performance, production-grade setting.

Strong fundamentals in software engineering: testing, version control, CI/CD, clean architecture

Passion for building internal tools, research frameworks, or working on data-heavy systems

Bonus: Exposure to pandas, NumPy, asyncio, Cython, or PyArrow. Familiarity with C++ is a plus

Bonus++: Experience working with quants, data scientists, or in trading environments

Computer Science or technical degree from a reputable university
