Quantitative analysis · Development

You build the kdb+ software that Squarepoint Capital's quant researchers use to research and run trading strategies.

KDB refers to kdb+, a database built for very large time series such as every price tick in a market, and q, the language used to query it. You join the Quantitative Development team, which works directly with the quantitative researchers who design the firm's trading models. The team designs, builds, deploys and uses the software for research and trading, sits inside the technology team, and works with other technologists so that tools built for one group are matured and reused across the firm. Quant developers also lead projects that cut across teams and asset classes. This is an experienced hire, and the seat can sit in London, Montreal or Singapore.
