Edgestream Partners, LP. and its affiliates are in the business of fully-systematic absolute-return quantitative asset management within the alternative investment category.
The production/trading technologies group of a well-established hedge fund management firm that employs quantitative strategies seeks an additional member.
The group designs, implements, and maintains a distributed trading system that trades equity securities in the US, with ambition to grow the business both domestically and internationally. We focus on automation and generality, so that we can manage a large system with relatively few people. As such, the role involves both production and development duties.
Development projects include improving our current trading software with an eye towards scalability, and adapting and generalizing it to handle the idiosyncrasies of trading in multiple markets globally. In particular, we develop tools to interface with! high-speed market data feeds, connectivity to brokers, and interaction with our core trading software. Significant scalability challenges are presented by the large number of liquid instruments available across the globe.
We oversee daily production from a high level, but design tools to that are closely watched by a monitoring desk. Part of our design and development responsibilities are the refinement and improvement of these tools. Challenges here are finding succinct ways of expressing the status of a highly complex operation.
Our continued growth in the US equities market and our international expansion makes this a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment. We are looking for someone who thrives in such an environment, and who is passionate about building an efficient, scalable, global trading platform. An additional emphasis on data processing makes candidates with a background in scientific programming ideal.
