Research Engineers conduct applied research jointly with quants to deliver trading models and the research platform. As the firm scales, the quality of engineering management has become one of the most important factors in how well teams grow, retain talent, and deliver — and this role exists to raise that bar.\n\nEngineering Managers are accountable for the planning and people side of the organisation — project deliveries, growth, performance, culture and hiring — and partner with technical leads who own architecture, technical direction, and hands-on execution. The two work in close partnership; neither succeeds without the other.\n\nYou will be measured on the engineers you develop and the outcomes your team delivers. You will spend the large majority of your time leading people and managing delivery.\n\nWhat you will do:\n\n Own the roadmap: manage priorities, planning, and sequencing of the work in line with company goals.\n\n Develop your engineers: own career planning, promotions, coaching, and structured, continuous performance management.\n\n Plan and build the team: lead hiring, headcount planning, and resource allocation in line with the team's roadmap and the firm's priorities.\n\n Cultivate a healthy team: actively manage culture, morale, and productivity, and address conflict early and constructively.\n\n Lead with rhythm: hold regular one-on-ones, give clear and timely feedback, and invest in team building.\n\n Translate technical and business requirements into clear delivery plans, identifying dependencies with other teams and risks up front.\n\n Act as the liaison between Engineering, Trading, and Quant teams to design and roll out new products.\n\n Drive delivery predictability: track progress against plan, manage risk and scope trade-offs, and report status clearly to stakeholders.\n\n Continuously improve delivery processes and team velocity.\n\n Ensure alignment: keep your team's work connected to organisational goals and delivery timelines, collaborating closely with Tech Leads and Staff Engineers on research and technical direction.\n\nWhat you need to succeed:\n\n Strong people-leadership skills: coaching, feedback, conflict resolution, and building an environment in which engineers thrive.\n\n Strong project management skills: experience building roadmaps, sequencing work, managing dependencies and risk, and driving delivery predictability in a fast-moving environment.\n\n A technical or research background sufficient to earn the respect of the engineers you manage and to engage credibly in technical discussions.\n\n Demonstrated experience leading, growing, and managing the performance of applied researchers and software engineers.\n\n A track record of delivering applied research through a team, balancing scope, quality, and timelines.\n\n Sound judgment in hiring and developing talent.\n\n Excellent communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including experience managing cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. Trading, Quant).\n\n Based in Amsterdam, or willing to relocate.\n\nWhat We Offer\n\nNo matter where you’re based, we offer great perks and benefits.\n\nAttractive Compensation\n\nRemuneration package comprised of a base salary and a discretionary variable component.\n\nContinuous Learning and Development\n\nDedicated academy with endless personal and functional development opportunities.\n\nExceptional Events and Social Activities\n\nAnnual company trip, holiday parties, family and sports events. There is something for everyone!\n\nEmployee Foundation\n\nVolunteer programs for employees and charity support initiatives through the Flow Traders Foundation.\n\nGlobal Rotations Opportunities\n\nOpportunities to work in different locations to support personal growth within the company and develop your career.\n\nGreat Global Locations\n\nVibrant working environments, furnished with lounges, bars, gaming areas and offering lunches and coffee.\n\nWellness and Healthy Culture\n\nActive lifestyle promoted by offering sports, healthy food and wellbeing programs.\n\nWorking with Great Minds\n\nInformal working environment, with a focus on direct and open communication, entrepreneurial spirit and a driven atmosphere.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4322,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T14:29:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":0.85,"p_active":0.827,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":15,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:15","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/flow-traders-engineering-manager-research-engineering-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/flow-traders-engineering-manager-research-engineering-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T20:50:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":29440,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4376466},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4376466"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fflow-traders-engineering-manager-research-engineering-3"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fflow-traders-engineering-manager-research-engineering-3"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fflow-traders-engineering-manager-research-engineering-3"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/flow-traders-engineering-manager-research-engineering-3\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fflow-traders-engineering-manager-research-engineering-3"}]}
