• Design and optimize C++ applications for performance-critical production systems.
• Partner closely with researchers and investment professionals to translate complex business requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Improve system reliability, observability, testing, and operational excellence.
• Troubleshoot challenging technical issues across research and production environments.
• Contribute to engineering best practices through design reviews, testing, and mentorship.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience supporting production systems.
• Strong expertise in Python, C++, or both.
• Excellent software engineering fundamentals, including architecture, debugging, performance optimization, and maintainability.
• Experience building data-intensive, distributed, or mission-critical applications.
• Strong problem-solving ability, ownership mentality, and willingness to learn new domains.
• Effective communication skills and experience working with cross-functional technical stakeholders.
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• Exposure to quantitative finance, systematic investing, financial markets, or market data.
• Experience with Linux, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, GPUs, data platforms, or low-latency applications.
• Familiarity with machine learning, numerical computing, simulation, optimization, or large-scale data processing.
