Lead Full-stack Software Engineer

Project:

We are building a FinTech platform that will research and run systematic trading strategies. 

We collaborate with the quant team on strategies research, risk modeling, and portfolio optimizations. Our software engineering team embeds the corresponding logic into the platform. 

Similar systems already exist on the market, but quants need to use several of them to research and run trading strategies. Our client’s idea is to build a system that can do it all.
