Quantitative Developer - AI/ML Buildout

A leading high-frequency trading (HFT) firm is seeking a Quantitative Developer to join a new AI/ML-focused buildout within its systematic trading division. This team is at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge machine learning and deep learning techniques into high-performance trading strategies, leveraging vast datasets, low-latency infrastructure, and scalable computing.

This role is ideal for an exceptional engineer with strong ML knowledge and a passion for applying advanced computational techniques to financial markets. You will work closely with quant researchers, data scientists, and traders to develop robust, high-performance machine learning models that drive trading decisions.

• Develop and optimize ML-driven trading models and strategies for high-frequency trading.
• Engineer scalable, high-performance infrastructure to support AI/ML research and live trading.
• Work with large-scale financial datasets, implementing data pipelines and feature engineering techniques.
• Optimize low-latency execution and inference of ML models in production environments.
• Collaborate with traders and quants to translate research into deployable trading algorithms.
• Ensure robustness, scalability, and performance of AI-driven trading systems.

• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++ (low-latency systems experience preferred).
• Experience with machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX) and AI-driven model development.
• Familiarity with high-performance computing (HPC), distributed systems, or GPU acceleration (CUDA, Triton, Ray, etc.).
• Knowledge of quantitative finance, market microstructure, or statistical learning is a plus.
• Experience working in a low-latency or real-time computing environment is highly desirable.
• Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.

• Prior work in HFT, proprietary trading, hedge funds, or systematic trading environments.
• Experience optimizing ML models for low-latency execution in production.
• Knowledge of reinforcement learning, Bayesian optimization, or time-series modeling in trading applications.
• Familiarity with cloud-based ML training and deployment (AWS/GCP/Azure).

• Opportunity to be part of a greenfield AI/ML initiative at a top-tier HFT firm.
• Work with world-class quants, engineers, and researchers solving cutting-edge problems.
• Competitive compensation with significant performance-based upside.
• Access to state-of-the-art compute resources and real-time market data.
