Quantitative Developer | Pricing | Python

h3bAbout BlockTech /b /h3 pBlockTech is an algorithmic trading firm operating at the frontier of global crypto derivatives and spot markets. We trade 24/7 across some of the fastest-moving, most data-rich venues in finance. /p pCrypto is one of the few markets where the gap between a good model and live PnL comes down to how fast and how reliably you can ship it. Abundant data, novel microstructure, and a short path to production mean the quality of our infrastructure directly moves the edge.

We're looking for a Quantitative Developer to build that infrastructure and get our models into production. /p h3bThe role /b /h3 pThis is a hands-on engineering seat on our trading floor. You'll own the infrastructure that turns research models into production trading systems, working primarily in Python and Rust, the language our models and systems are written in. You'll build the frameworks and tooling that let quants ship their code to production and keep those systems running once they're live. /p pYou'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with researchers, traders, and fellow engineers, building the tooling, pipelines, and standards that let good ideas reach production quickly and safely, and helping raise the engineering bar across the floor. /p h3bYou will /b /h3 ul lipBuild and own the infrastructure that takes models from research to production - data pipelines, backtesting, deployment, and monitoring. /p /li lipTurn research prototypes into robust, performant, production-grade code that runs reliably in live trading /p /li lipWork closely with quantitative researchers and traders to get new models live quickly and safely /p /li lipOwn the systems you ship in production: monitor performance, diagnose issues, and keep latency and reliability high /p /li lipImprove the tools, standards, and pipelines the team relies on, raising the engineering bar across the floorbr/ /p /li /ul h3bWhat we're looking for /b /h3 ul lip2+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production-grade systems /p /li lipA strong academic foundation in a STEM discipline (computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, or similar) /p /li lipStrong programming skills in Python and ideally Rust and/or C++. /p /li lipSolid software engineering fundamentals: clean, testable, maintainable code, version control, testing, and CI/CD /p /li lipThe ability to collaborate with researchers and traders and translate research code into production systems /p /li lipClear written and verbal Englishbr/ /p /li /ul h3Strong Pluses /h3 ul lipExperience building or maintaining trading, backtesting, or data infrastructure /p /li lipFamiliarity with market microstructure, or an interest in learning how trading systems work end-to-endbr/ /p /li /ul h3bWhat's in it for you? /b /h3 ul lipReal ownership and a direct line to live PnL.
