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
