We use a large, customized research environment with highly advanced CPU and GPU compute, storage, and networking technology. Our team thinks about the entire software stack, from the user-level API to optimizing performance out of low-level caching. We deal with everything from the theoretical, like fair resource scheduling, to the concrete, like optimizing a trader’s new program run-time performance.

  • Optimize workloads at the user level to speed up user iteration speed
  • Tune workloads at the infrastructure level to make them more resource-efficient
  • Share metrics and real-time information with users to give insight into workload behavior
  • Sit down with users to understand their specific technical needs
  • Contribute individually and through leadership and coordination of the above
  • Set technical direction for the platform and take holistic ownership of the software infrastructure that supports Algo research

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong C++ expertise (daily use preferred)
  • Python familiarity preferred
  • Experience collaborating closely with quantitative researchers and traders to understand their needs
  • Great communication capabilities
  • Superior design, debugging, and problem solving skills
