Company Description

The research group uses Python and Cython on Linux to develop mathematical models for global systematic trading. We use open-source tools as much as possible, with numpy, git, and of course Python all being crucial to our business. We are looking to hire someone who wishes to stay with us for the long haul and to help us grow our business.

Our firm is not your typical Wall Street concern, but instead is a small group of former scientists and engineers with a unique approach to global markets. We work sane hours and don't wear suspenders or slick our hair back (which is not to say you can't). We do, however, offer competitive pay and benefits.

Legal disclaimer: In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification document form upon hire.
