**Quantitative Developer Systematic Trading New York Confidential Search**

CW Talent Solutions

The best quant developers don’t just build systems. They help discover what’s worth trading.

We’re placing a Quantitative Developer into one of the most intellectually demanding environments in finance — a top-tier, secretive firm in New York operating at the cutting edge of systematic strategies globally. Small team. Real PnL impact. No bureaucracy.

This is not a typical quant dev role. You will sit at the intersection of alpha research, data engineering, and production trading systems.

What you’ll do

• Build high-performance research and backtesting frameworks for large-scale financial datasets
• Translate complex models into production-ready systems alongside world-class researchers
• Contribute to alpha research through statistical modelling and experimentation
• Optimise data pipelines and computational efficiency across the research stack
• Bridge the gap between research and execution in a latency-sensitive environment

What we’re looking for

• Degree in CS, Maths, Physics, or Engineering from a top-tier university — Ivy, Oxbridge, MIT, Stanford
• Outstanding academic record — top of class, honours, publications highly valued
• Strong Python and/or C++ with a focus on performance and reliability
• Demonstrated experience in quant research, statistical modelling, or machine learning
• Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and numerical methods
• Proven ability to work on complex, ambiguous problems with minimal guidance

What’s in it for you

• Direct impact on live trading strategies and firm PnL
• Exceptional compensation — base + bonus well into the top percentile of the market
• Flat structure, minimal bureaucracy, access to world-class colleagues
• Long-term capital — genuine research depth, not short-termism
• One of the most intellectually rigorous environments in finance

The bar is extraordinarily high. If that’s you — or someone you know — let’s talk confidentially.
