Office / hybrid / remote
- We are building a financial platform that willresearch and run systematic trading strategies.
- We collaborate with the quant team on strategiesresearch, risk modeling, and portfolio optimizations.Our software engineering team embeds the correspondinglogic into the platform.
- Similar systems already exist on the market, butquants need to use several of them to research and runtrading strategies. Our client’s idea is to build asystem that can do it all.
- Client: Several quants with 15+ years of Wall Streetexperience.
- Team: 25 people divided into three sub-teams.
Project’s Stack
- Frontend: Typescript, Material UI, React, Jest,ESLint, Recharts.
- Backend (Microservices): Kotlin, Groovy, Python,Micronaut, Flask, Gatling, Locust, Spock, FastAPI,Pytest, Pandas, NumPy, SQLAIchemy, Yoyo.
What a Python Developer will do:
- Create high-quality code according to Algothic’sstandards
- Clarify feature requirements
- Communicate with the client and the team
- Complete related tasks, for example, estimate featuresand analyze the system’s security
