Description
We are seeking a Quantitative Developer to join our trading team, Equities. Our team, Spotted Owl, consists of about 30 people and is led by Douglas Schadewald and Daniel Spottiswood. We trade all asset classes globally, with a focus on options.
The Quantitative Developer role on our team has evolved substantially in light of recent AI developments. Developers now focus on the larger architectural problems: the platforms and core tools that power the team's workflows, and their speed, reliability, and safety. Developers also maintain our live trading systems and work with our traders throughout the trading day.
We work like a startup, resolving problems quickly and aiming to ship the same day. AI agents are central to how we build, and the value of the developer is directing agents to work on the right tasks and holding their output to a high standard. You will have immediate ownership of projects that directly impact trading.
Our stack includes Python (Polars), Linux, Redis, Postgres, ClickHouse, Iceberg, Airflow, TypeScript/React, Rust, and C++.
The estimated base salary range for this position is $100,000 to $200,000, which is specific to New York and may change in the future. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including a base salary, discretionary performance bonus, and other perks.
Responsibilities:
- Focus on larger architectural problems
- Maintain live trading systems
- Work with traders throughout the trading day
Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience as a software engineer
- Experience in trading or finance
- Strong in Python
- AI-first mentality
