Technologists at WorldQuant research, design, code, test and deploy firmwide platforms and tooling while working collaboratively with researchers and portfolio managers. Our environment is relaxed yet intellectually driven. We seek people who think in code and are motivated by being around like-minded people.
The Role
We are seeking an exceptional senior-level Python engineer to join a small team working on complex data pipelines, AI/ML systems, and cutting-edge software solutions. This role will be responsible for managing technical objectives, providing technical leadership, and maintaining a hands-on approach to development. The ideal candidate will work closely across teams within WorldQuant as part of our business-facing technology organization. A successful candidate will possess deep expertise in Python development, data engineering, software architecture, and design principles. They should be able to mentor junior team members, conduct code reviews, and drive architectural decisions. Experience with AI and large language models (LLMs) is highly desirable. What You'll Bring Master's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field from a top-tier institution. 7+ years of experience as a Python developer, with a strong focus on data engineering and AI/ML systems. Expert-level knowledge of Python and its ecosystem, including experience with data processing libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and PySpark. Proficiency in designing and implementing scalable, maintainable, and efficient data pipelines. Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes). Expertise in version control systems (Git), CI/CD practices, and agile methodologies. Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Proven track record of mentoring junior engineers and fostering a collaborative team environment. Experience in the finance industry is a plus but not required. Experience with AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch, or scikit-learn, LLM, agents or systems of agents is a significant plus.
