The Role

As a Quant Developer at AHL you will be working hand-in-hand with our Quant Researchers.

The Team

The team has been running for over a decade and manage a large and successful portfolio across all asset classes spanning both making and taking strategies. The nature of these strategies produce interesting technological problems focusing on tick data, statistical models and trading automation.

Our Technology

Our systems are almost all running on Linux and most of our code is in Python, with the full scientific stack: numpy, scipy, pandas, scikit-learn to name a few of the libraries we use extensively. We implement the systems that require the highest data throughput in Java. For storage, we rely heavily on MongoDB and Oracle.

We use Airflow for workflow management, Kafka for data pipelines, Bitbucket for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, ELK for log shipping and monitoring, Docker + Kubernetes for containerisation, OpenStack for our private cloud, Ansible for architecture automation, and Slack for internal communication. But our technology list is never static: we constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.
