Our systematic approach emphasizes technology as the core foundation, attracting highly technical employees who focus on investment, often holding HPC PhDs.

Maintenance of a laid-back atmosphere allows employees to contribute freely, with engineers reporting directly to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The fund is committed to furthering professional and technical growth, offering support for career development.

Based in London with a hybrid setup, we offer sponsorship for EU visas and flexibility for occasional remote work from NYC.

  • Quantitative Developer / Research Infra Pathway: Collaborate closely with traders, PMs, and quant researchers to develop robust, scalable tools and infrastructure for real-time trading environments. Uncovering and exploring traditional and alternative datasets is crucial.
  • Data Focused Quant Developer Pathway: Work directly with the quant division on tasks related to the fund's sophisticated data platform, taking ownership of investment datasets and libraries.
  • C++ Software Engineer Pathway: Lead the build-out of integrants for the business's trading engine, exploring new methods for enhancing existing components and optimizing current tools and systems.
