- Create tooling and automated order-execution systems that shorten the path from hypothesis to live experiment
- Partner with the quant and AI research staff as they explore fresh methods of forecasting markets
- Cover many areas, spanning trading, low-latency systems, security and machine learning, since a founding team faces wide-ranging problems
About you

- Degree in computer science, math, statistics or physics
- Has shipped at least one project end to end as its owner
- Intense interest in financial markets and comfort with ambiguity
