We leverage cutting-edge software and hardware to push production level code daily and evolve fully-automated strategies, alpha generation processes, live trading systems, and machine learning research and simulation infrastructure used to analyze petabytes of data.
Across the firm, technologists bring prior experience from some of the top teams across technology and trading, and by adding only a few new grads each year, we offer each a ton of responsibility, intimate mentorship from industry experts, and top tier compensation. Over the last two seasons we’ve added ~10 Quantitative Technologists each year with combined internship experience from Jane Street, HRT, DeepMind, Google, Monad Labs, Apple, Intel, Meta, Two Sigma, Citadel, Nuro, Stripe and many more in addition to success in IOI, IMO, ICPC, and Putnam competitions.
We provide starter projects that we know will add value to the firm, while encouraging exploration and independent projects to improve inefficiencies, propose iterations, and own significant processes and tools within your first few months.
COMPENSATION – Competitive salary, plus quarterly bonus based on individual performance and contribution towards success of others and the firm.
