Hiring Manager
Moses Lynn
Responsibilities
Core risk + attribution infrastructure: PnL explain, factor/sector exposure, scenario analysis
High-volume data processing systems (batch + near-real-time) where performance and correctness matter
Internal tools used across the firm for portfolio-level and board-level reporting
Greenfield extensions of systems already in demand—this role exists because the tooling worked and usage exploded
Work directly with risk managers and senior stakeholders, often sketching solutions together and implementing them yourself
Qualification
Required
Very strong Python with real performance intuition (profiling, memory, concurrency trade-offs)
Solid CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, systems thinking
Ability to reason through problems from first principles—why something works, not just how to code it
Engineers from quant funds, trading firms, HFTs, or similarly demanding environments
People who've built end-to-end systems, not just thin wrappers or glue code
Signals of technical depth: competitions, open-source, serious side projects, strong academic CS background
Open to non-finance backgrounds if the engineering quality is exceptional
Preferred
Bonus if you've worked close to the metal before (C++ / Java / C#), even if Python is your day-to-day
