  • 10+ years of professional experience with a proven track record of designing, building, and running applications on massive-scale compute grids.

  • Strong programming skills in languages common to high-performance computing, such as C++ and Python.
  • A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • A strong background in distributed systems, performance tuning, and infrastructure-as-code principles.
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills, with an ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues in a high-pressure, large-scale environment.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with quantitative research, trading, and risk management teams.
Preferred Skills :
