- Collaborate closely with researchers, quants, and data scientists
Requirements
- Strong Python and SQL skills, comfortable working close to raw data
- Experience building and operating modern data pipelines
- Exposure to research-, trading-, or decision-critical systems
- Independent thinker, comfortable with ambiguity
- Preference for hands-on technical ownership
Ideal Background
- Systematic funds, quantitative asset managers, HFTs, or trading firms
- FinTechs or financial data providers
- Smaller teams with broad ownership and responsibility
- Strong early-career profiles with clear technical depth
