We’re working with a leading quantitative trading firm that is looking to add a Strategy-focused Software Engineer to one of its established intraday trading teams.
This is a role for someone who enjoys sitting at the intersection of software engineering, quantitative research, and live trading — taking ideas from research through to robust, production-ready systems.
You’ll work closely with experienced quants and traders to develop, test, and deploy new trading signals, while continuously improving the technology that supports the strategy lifecycle.
What you’ll be doing
- Translate quantitative ideas and trading signals into scalable, production-quality code
- Design, build, and maintain strategy components used across research and live trading
- Develop and enhance backtesting, simulation, and research infrastructure
- Work across data, research, and production environments to get strategies from concept to deployment
- Investigate and resolve technical issues across multiple platforms and technology stacks
- Partner directly with quants and traders, balancing robustness, performance, and speed of delivery
- Help scale successful research and trading technology across the wider firm
