encord - Quant Developer in AI

• You have personally developed and maintained systems from scratch, and know what trade-offs are involved in building reliable, performant software at speed. You will have excelled at something demanding, and can show that your good technical decisions day after day compounded into a competitive edge. • You may not have AI or ML experience, and that's fine: you are an incredibly fast and curious learner. You can pick up a new topic and quickly become an expert by being ego-less in asking the right questions, and rigorous in performing experiments that propel you up the learning curve. • You excel under pressure and uncertainty. You don’t let up the pace, you attack the heart of the problem, and you repeatedly make the right tradeoffs. • You deeply care about the systems you build. You take pride in having thought through the failure modes, shipping readable, bulletproof code, and delivering today instead of next week. • You enjoy being a member of a high-performing team. You contribute your best work and help others contribute their best. You'll always lend a helping hand when needed and level up those around you. • 1-5+ years building and operating serious institutional-scale systems. • Fluency in Python or Typescript and a deep understanding of a least one of Rust, C++, Java or Golang. • Solid core CS knowledge in data structures and algorithms, distributed systems concepts (databases, replication, partitioning, queuing, caching) and how they behave under load • Experience owning services in production and improving quality through code reviews, testing, rollout and monitoring • Experience at a trading firm, market maker, hedge fund or exchange is a plus: trading systems, market data pipelines, tick or time-series stores, risk engines, ML/QR research pipelines, are all relevant to what we build. Experience with large data migrations or re-architecture projects is a plus.
