    Job description

    As a Quantitative Technologist, your goal is to enhance live trading systems, research infrastructure, and alpha generation through technology innovation.
    We leverage cutting-edge software and hardware (mostly with modern C++) to push production level code daily and evolve fully-automated strategies, alpha generation processes, live trading systems, and machine learning research and simulation infrastructure used to analyze petabytes of data.

    The Role

    • Build and accelerate the firmwide AI ecosystem and infrastructure to support AI-native systems and tooling
    • Identify workflow opportunities for developers and researchers to introduce AI-first systems and automation
    • Design, deploy, and evaluate production-grade AI applications and advanced agentic workflows (utilizing RAG, semantic search, planning, and structured outputs)
    • Develop platform-level safeguards, including bespoke evaluation harnesses, guardrails, approval workflows, tool-use limits, source attribution, and kill switches
    • Optimize core metrics across agent systems, focusing on reasoning quality, retrieval accuracy, latency, cost, safety, and user experience

    About You

    • 5+ years of overall technical experience, including 2+ years of hands-on experience designing and building Generative AI/LLM applications in production
    • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field
    • Strong proficiency in Python alongside solid software engineering principles and a deep understanding of the full AI/ML lifecycle (data prep through observability)
    • Expert familiarity with agentic frameworks and modern AI orchestration and development tools (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, LlamaIndex) alongside deep practical skills in prompt engineering
    • Proven capability to evaluate and select foundational or open-weight models, balancing enterprise trade-offs across capability, context length, hosting, security, and cost

    COMPENSATION – Competitive base salary, plus quarterly bonus based on individual performance and contribution towards success of others and the firm.
