Hiring Manager
Moses Lynn
Responsibilities
Core risk and attribution infrastructure: PnL explain, factor and sector exposure, scenario analysis
High-volume data processing systems (batch and near-real-time) where performance and correctness matter
Shared internal tools used across the firm for portfolio-level analysis and senior-level reporting
Greenfield extensions of systems already in demand—the role exists because the tooling worked and usage scaled rapidly
You’ll work directly with risk managers and senior stakeholders, often sketching solutions together and then implementing them yourself
Qualification
Required
Very strong Python with real performance intuition (profiling, memory, concurrency trade-offs)
Solid CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, systems thinking
Ability to reason from first principles—understanding why something works, not just how to implement it
Engineers from quant funds, trading firms, HFTs, or similarly demanding environments
People who've built end-to-end systems, not just thin wrappers or glue code
Clear signals of technical depth: open-source work, competitions, serious side projects, strong CS background
Open to non-finance backgrounds if engineering quality is exceptional
Preferred
Bonus if you've worked closer to the metal (C++ / Java / C#) even if Python is your day-to-day
