Quantitative Data Engineer

We tackle the most complex problems in quantitative finance by bringing scientific clarity to financial complexity.

From our London HQ we unite world-class researchers and engineers in an environment that values deep exploration and methodical execution - because the best ideas take time to evolve. Together were building a world-class platform to amplify our teams most powerful ideas.

As part of our engineering team youll shape the platforms and tools that drive high-impact research - designing systems that scale accelerate discovery and support innovation across the firm.

Take the next step in your career.

Quantitative Data Engineers take data from its raw source through to live signals working alongside Quantitative Researchers at each step in between.

We are using large language models to automate and scale this process so that we can take on more data than any team could handle by hand. The work is already underway. You will work in Python on large-scale compute and industry-leading infrastructure with access to leading internal and external models.

AI is part of how every team here works accelerating thinking and delivering impact. All colleagues are expected to bring AI into their daily workflows.
