Do you want to tackle the biggest questions in finance with near infinite compute power at your fingertips?

G-Research is a leading quantitative research and technology firm, with offices in London and Dallas.

We are proud to employ some of the best people in their field and to nurture their talent in a dynamic, flexible and highly stimulating culture where world-beating ideas are cultivated and rewarded.

This role is based in our new Soho Place office – opened in 2023 - in the heart of Central London and home to our Research Lab.

The role

Engineering underpins our continued growth and success, and we are committed to recruiting and developing the world’s best Engineers.

Our Quantitative Developers are the enablers of our success. They work side-by-side with our researchers to realise their ideas in global financial markets. They work at the bleeding-edge with immense compute power at their fingertips to achieve our aim: predicting the future.

The core tech stack is C# and Python, productionised in our own datacentres.

Areas of focus for these teams include:

  • Trading systems – reliable and performant systems able to trade 24/6 for our customers, with real money at stake
  • Modelling – building core capabilities and assisting quant researchers in our cutting edge prediction capabilities
  • Simulation – back-testing frameworks for validating the strategies our researchers produce and for assessing their ongoing performance
  • Research tooling – front-end UX and workflow for our quant researchers
  • Performance and scalability – optimising our trading and research systems to unlock new capabilities

To give a flavour of the work we do, here are some of our recent projects:

  • Low level performance optimisations in our core simulation engine, unlocking the next advances in quant research
  • Experimenting with alternative solvers in a core trade planning system
  • Integrating our high and low frequency systems for more optimal trading
  • Re-architecting systems to provide a seamless path from research to production for machine learning models
  • Enabling large-scale distributed training of machine learning models
  • Contributing back to open source projects

Who are we looking for?

  • Intelligent, pragmatic and capable engineers with a genuine interest in technology
  • Proven ability to engineer high-quality software
  • Appreciation of good architecture and engineering best practices
  • End-to-end ownership of solutions: from articulation through to delivery
  • Good understanding of fundamental algorithms and data structures
  • An interest in finance and trading, and the challenges in this space
  • The ability to collaborate with and influence technical and non-technical colleagues from across the business
  • Effective decision-making skills with a focus on the mid to long term
  • Enjoy working as part of a software development team

Why should you apply?

  • Highly competitive compensation plus annual discretionary bonus
  • Lunch provided (via Just Eat for Business) and dedicated barista bar
  • 35 days’ annual leave
  • 9% company pension contributions
  • Informal dress code and excellent work/life balance
  • Comprehensive healthcare and life assurance
  • Cycle-to-work scheme
  • Monthly company events
