Entry-level software engineers build scalable infrastructure, cloud environments, trading systems, data-ingestion platforms, deployment tools, and productivity applications. Responsibilities vary by assigned engineering team and include developing reliable, high-performance systems supporting quantitative strategies and trade execution. Candidates should have a technical or quantitative degree, strong programming abilities, large-scale systems experience, analytical skills, and enthusiasm for building quality software.

Build and optimize low-latency, high-throughput trading systems and research infrastructure for a wholesale market-making business. Collaborate with quantitative researchers, modelers, and traders to solve business problems and deliver engineering improvements that directly affect trading performance and revenue.

Software engineering interns complete a 10-week project with mentorship, building scalable infrastructure, cloud and storage systems, trading platforms, data ingestion pipelines, model deployment environments, and productivity tools. Responsibilities emphasize reliability, high performance, low latency, experimentation, and collaboration across engineering and corporate teams. Interns are matched with a specific team before starting and present their completed project at the program’s conclusion.

Build and support ultra-low-latency electronic trading environments across global markets. Responsibilities include developing automation and integration systems, deploying features, monitoring real-time transactions, resolving incidents, managing trading infrastructure and connectivity, capacity planning, and improving technical and operational practices with software and infrastructure teams.

Develop and productionize software for portfolio research, optimization, forecasting, and simulation. Partner with quantitative researchers to prototype architectures, accelerate research, analyze model impact, evolve core systems, and build expertise across portfolio research domains. The role requires strong software engineering and quantitative skills, including mathematical optimization, linear algebra, statistical methods, and numerical methods.

Build and optimize high-performance platforms for simulated and live trading across financial markets and asset classes. Responsibilities include implementing trading and measurement applications, analyzing system performance, reviewing code, extending platforms, and supporting traders with portfolio orders. The role requires systems-level programming, market structure knowledge, and collaboration with quantitative modeling teams.

Analyze quantitative modeling workflows to identify GPU acceleration opportunities, re-engineer pipelines for GPU parallelism, validate correctness and throughput, inform GPU infrastructure needs, and translate modeler requirements into technical specifications. The role requires expertise in modeling platforms, the full modeling lifecycle, Python scientific computing, and collaboration with quantitative modelers.

Own the architecture, reliability, operations, and roadmap of a large-scale Kubernetes platform across on-premise and cloud environments. Lead technical strategy, troubleshoot and monitor platform performance, build software components in Go, Java, or Python, and drive cloud-native, GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD improvements. Mentor engineers, establish technical standards, and balance strategic platform investments with business-critical trading, services, and data pipeline requirements.

Manage and improve a large-scale Linux infrastructure across hardware, virtualization, containers, and operating systems. Responsibilities include developing automation, modifying Debian images, compiling custom kernels, monitoring systems, troubleshooting kernel-to-application performance issues, tuning for low latency, and managing the full lifecycle of Linux systems. The role requires Linux systems expertise, programming ability, distributed systems and networking knowledge, and experience operating hundreds to thousands of servers.
