  • Develop a deep understanding of the firm's complex business structures and translate that knowledge into clean, reliable code.
  • Build tools and automation that enable Accounting teams to execute updates efficiently with minimal manual intervention.

  • Strong programming skills in Python and SQL.

We'd love if you had:

  • Familiarity with a multi manager hedge fund business and PM deal structures
  • Experience working with accounting and finance teams
  • Comfort with reading legal documents and thinking through how to translate into code

Who we are

We leverage both internal and external portfolio manager teams around the world, seeking to capitalize on inefficiencies and opportunities within the markets.

Our Culture
At Schonfeld, we'll invest in you. Attracting and retaining top talent is at the heart of what we do, because we believe that exceptional outcomes begin with exceptional people. We foster a culture where talent is empowered to continually learn, innovate and pursue ambitious goals. We are teamwork-oriented, collaborative and encourage ideas-at all levels-to be shared. As an organization committed to investing in our people, we provide learning and educational offerings and opportunities to make an impact. We encourage community through internal networks, external partnerships and service initiatives that promote inclusion and purpose beyond the firm's walls.
