JOB OVERVIEW

We are seeking a Software Engineer embedded directly within our Quantitative Investment Group to serve as a handson technical partner to Portfolio Managers and Quantitative Researchers. This role will work primarily in Python and C#, supporting the full lifecycle of systematic investment workflows-from research enablement and data integration to platform development and firmwide integration.

This is not a traditional support or centralized platform role. The successful candidate will help in the design, implementation, and evolution of QIG's quantitative portfolio and research infrastructure, translating portfolio construction, optimization, and risk research into scalable, productiongrade systems while aligning with broader firmwide technology initiatives.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Quantitative Research & Portfolio Enablement

• Partner closely with Portfolio Managers and Quantitative Researchers to understand research workflows and investment objectives.
• Design and implement software that supports systematic portfolio construction, optimization, rebalancing, and risk analytics across equity and credit strategies.
• Enable rapid research iteration while ensuring a clear and deliberate path to productionquality implementations.
• Help ensure consistency and rigor between research prototypes and live portfolio implementation, reducing model and operational risk.

Quantitative Platform Modernization

• Support the migration and standardization of systematic models onto nextgeneration quantitative frameworks, improving scalability, performance, and reproducibility.
• Build and maintain shared timeseries and factor data services that streamline factor timing, regime analysis, and model execution.
• Partner with researchers to evolve domain abstractions (e.g., securities, regions, model concepts, regimes) into durable, welldesigned software components.
• Enable seamless interoperability between legacy research environments and modern Python and C#based platforms, minimizing friction as technologies evolve.

Data & Integration

• Support acquisition, ingestion, and integration of new internal and thirdparty datasets required for quantitative research.
• Design data access patterns that support timeseries correctness, backtesting accuracy, and pointintime analysis.
• Collaborate with enterprise data and platform teams to align with firmwide data standards while preserving QIG's research velocity.

Infrastructure, DevOps & Firmwide Alignment

• Partner with platform and DevOps teams to spin up and evolve research and production environments as needed.
• Contribute to CI/CD, environment standardization, and operational best practices.
• Act as a bridge between QIG and broader Technology teams, ensuring architectural, security, and strategic alignment.
• Basic Linus & Windows system administration

Collaboration & Engineering Excellence

• Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and technical standardssetting.
• Author clear technical documentation for both researchers and technologists.
• Contribute to a collaborative culture that values correctness, transparency, and continuous improvement.

Required Skills & Experience

Technical Skills

• Strong professional experience with Python for dataintensive or analytical applications.
• Solid experience with C# and building maintainable, productiongrade software.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals: version control (Git), testing, documentation, logging, and code reviews.
• Experience designing APIs, services, or shared libraries used by multiple consumers.
• Experience with AWS, Azure or other cloud environments
• Experience with Microsoft SQL Server

Quantitative & Data Context

• Experience working with large, complex datasets and analytical workflows.
• Familiarity with timeseries data, numerical computation, and data modeling concepts.
• Interest in, or exposure to, systematic investment or researchdriven environments.
  

Ways of Working

• Comfortable operating in an embedded model with frequent, direct interaction with researchers and Portfolio Managers.
• Able to balance rapid iteration with longterm maintainability and platform thinking.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate abstract concepts into robust technology.
  

Experience & Education

• 5-10 years of professional experience as a software engineer, quantitative developer, or similar role.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
