Python Engineer Python Performance

You will design, build, and improve research and production infrastructure for trading. You will develop libraries, backend systems, and workflow tooling in a hybrid Python/C++ environment, translate research workflows into maintainable software, and improve performance and scalability across distributed and cluster-based compute systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and improve research and production infrastructure
• Work in a hybrid Python/C++ environment
• Translate research workflows, models, and ideas into scalable, maintainable software
• Develop foundational libraries, backend systems, and workflow tooling
• Support strategy research, testing, and deployment
• Improve system performance, algorithmic efficiency, and scalability across distributed and cluster-based compute environments
• Own projects from design and implementation through testing, rollout, and ongoing improvement
• Evolve platform capabilities and compute infrastructure

Requirements

• At least 5 years of professional Python software engineering experience
• Experience designing, analyzing, and implementing highly algorithmic code
• Experience building production systems in Linux environments
• Knowledge of data structures, algorithmic complexity, and efficient implementation
• Experience with concurrent and distributed systems
