About the role:

The ideal candidate should have at least 5-year experiences in the quant finance space, has thorough understandings of the industry; familiar with python, algorithm, machine learning, data structure, so can provide effective technical advice to researchers when they encounter difficulties at work; can communicate with programmers and guide them to work on relative projects as needed.
To add up some colour to this role:
This role can be dealing with any kinds of questions or requests from quantitative researchers, which could be data related, python related that requires coding, or infrastructure-related like speed up simulation with improved infrastructure, etc... The role will be running projects, so a typical day of the role can depend on which project s/he's currently on. Aside from working closely with his/her team, s/he might also work more closely with research/tech teams to resolve different projects.
