C++ Software Engineer - Executive Quant Strategies

Title:  C++ Software Engineer

Type: Full time permanent

Location:  New York, NY(100% remote)

Description:                

We are looking for a 2 - 6 year C++ developer who can help our Quant team execute strategies. This role is not exactly a quant developer role nor is it a embedded systems role.

We want a smart, passionate C++ developer with a degree in a mathematical / engineering field.

The ideal candidate will be excited by math and hold a degree in Mathematics or Engineering. You will be very analytical and enjoy working with numbers and problem solving.

This role is working with our Quant group but experience with quants is not required.

This role is pure C++ Development.

We are seeking a strategic, detail-oriented software engineer to join our Quantitative Research team as a Quantitative Developer. You'll be assisting our Head of Quantitative Research in creating and maintaining models for research projects using C++. We're small, nimble, casual (no suits – shoes optional), and passionate about our mission and the projects we create. As a member of our Quantitative Research team, you will have true ownership over your projects from beginning to end, with an emphasis on accountability over micromanagement.

What You'll Do:

•         

o          Work directly with the Head of Quantitative Research to create new and enhance existing models in C++

o          Assist our developers with implementation of new models in production code

o          Provide coding support for new research ideas

Skills You'll Need:        

o          At least 3 years of experience programming in C++

o          Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Applied Math, or similar

o          Experience with data handling and ability to analyze data within a SQL environment

o          Some experience coding C++ for both Linux and Windows is preferred

o          Knowledge of C++11 and C++17 is preferred

What Will Make You Stand Out:

o          Experience with Java, Python, and Linux shell scripting

o          Experience with AWS

o          Experience with Redis or a similar datastore & messaging system such as MongoDB

A reasonable, good faith estimate of the minimum and maximum for this position is $120K/year to $130K/year with benefits"
