Quantitative Developer (Python / AWS) | Elite Boston Hedge Fund (New Team Build)

Quantitative Developer (Python / AWS) | Elite Boston Hedge Fund (New Team Build)

I'm partnered with an elite hedge fund in Boston on the continued build out of a new Quant Dev team (this is the 3rd hire on this team). The leader of this team headed quant development for a Tier 1 Hedge Fund, so this is a very exciting opportunity to join the team as the 3rd hire and work with an exceptional leader. This role will partner directly with portfolio managers on long-term projects as the lead technical resource, designing and building greenfield systems (i.e. next‑gen quant research platform, analytics, portfolio management, and trading systems). This is a lean firm with established engineering and infrastructure teams that have been working to modernize their tech stack and build cutting edge tools and applications. There is very little bureaucracy limiting the velocity of development and ideation, and this firm prides itself on its meritocratic culture, internal skills development programs, and internal mobility.

This role will be the lead technical resource partnering directly with an exceptional portfolio manager and embedded within their team

This will be an extremely high impact role. You will own the design and development of greenfield systems (next‑gen quant research platform, analytics, portfolio management, and trading systems)

After designing & building greenfield systems for this portfolio manager, you’ll move to another investment team long term to partner with another portfolio manager. You will not get stuck focusing on supporting mature systems! Focus will stay on building new things.

We’re looking for exceptional engineering fundamentals, and the ability to wear multiple hats & drive complex projects from ideation to execution.

This Portfolio Manager is also looking for a thought partner that has the interest and ability to learn their business / strategies (not just an engineer focused on implementation).
