Quantitative Developer

Albert Bow is partnering with a top-tier systematic trading group to hire across 23 seats split between two streams. Roles are based in New York or London with an office-first rhythm a few days per week to work closely with researchers and shared infrastructure. Hybrid is available, and remote is reserved for exceptional engineers with a proven record of shipping at scale. We are running a selective, quality-first process rather than speed hiring.

Stream 1. Execution Infrastructure Quant Dev:

• Own the backtesting engine, data ingest, and the deployment path that pushes research to production.
• Build scalable backtests, benchmarking, artefact management, and release tooling on AWS.
• Improve execution quality end to end: slippage analysis, TCA, routing logic, and production observability.
• Use Python as glue with C++ or Rust where latency and throughput matter.

Stream 2. Low-Latency Crypto Quant Dev:

• Write and tune exchange connectors across major CEXs using REST, WebSocket, and FIX.
• Ship market data pipelines, order routing, and strategy integration for 24/7 markets.
• Containerised deploys, Linux performance work, real-time profiling, and fault-tolerant recovery.
• Core in Rust or C++ with production Python for research and operations.

• Fluency in C++ or Rust plus practical Python.
• Clear evidence you have shipped infrastructure that moved PnL.
• Comfort with Kafka, kdb+ or ClickHouse, AWS, and market microstructure.
• 1 to 5 years building trading systems or adjacent high-throughput systems.
• Strong reasoning about data structures, algorithms, and throughput versus latency trade-offs.
• Ownership mindset and clear communication with quants and senior engineers.

• Direct ownership in production with tight feedback from researchers and senior engineers.
• Real impact on execution quality, not slideware.
• $170k to $250k base plus performance bonus.
• New York or London. In-office preferred. Hybrid or remote considered for stand-out profiles.
