Analyst, Junior Quantitative Developer - Core Platform

About the position Seated within our Quantitative Investment Science group, the Analyst, Junior Quantitative Developer builds the core services, APIs, and shared foundations that the rest of our product is built on. This engineer works at the intersection of engineering and product — turning product requirements into reliable, well-designed platform capabilities that other engineers and features depend on. While the focus is on backend services and APIs, our team realistically has its hands in any part of the stack, from data pipelines to the frontend application shell. This role is ideal for analytically-minded engineers who care about how systems fit together and want to help shape product through the foundations they build.

Requirements

• Proficiency in Python and SQL for building services and working with data
• Understanding of web application architecture (frontend/backend request flow)

• Familiarity with API design and building clear, well-structured endpoints
• Familiarity with event-driven architecture and telemetry patterns
• Experience with collaborative git workflows (branching, pull requests, code review)
• Ability to communicate technical decisions clearly to product and non-technical collaborators
• Interest in system design and writing clean, well-typed, tested, maintainable code
