## Description

Trexquant is seeking an experienced Senior Data Engineer to build and maintain the core data infrastructure that powers our quantitative research platform. This role is responsible for owning the ingestion, normalization, storage, and ongoing maintenance of large-scale financial and alternative datasets from hundreds of global vendors.

The successful candidate will develop scalable data pipelines that transform raw vendor feeds into clean, consistent, research-ready datasets for systematic researchers and simulation platforms. Working closely with quantitative researchers, data platform engineers, and infrastructure teams, this person will ensure that market, reference, and alternative data is accurate, reliable, and readily accessible across asset classes including equities, options, futures, fixed income, ETFs, and foreign exchange.

This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving complex data engineering challenges in a research-driven environment where data quality, scalability, and performance directly impact alpha generation.

Responsibilities

 + Design, build, and maintain scalable ingestion pipelines for market, reference, tick, and alternative data from a diverse set of external vendors.

 + Own the normalization, validation, storage, and lifecycle management of research datasets, ensuring data is accurate, consistent, and readily accessible for quantitative research and simulation.

 + Develop and optimize Python- and SQL-based data processing workflows supporting multiple asset classes, including equities, options, futures, fixed income, ETFs, and FX.

 + Partner with quantitative researchers, data architects, and infrastructure teams to onboard new datasets, improve data quality, and deliver reliable research-ready data.
