We empower exceptional talents in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science to seek scientific boundaries, push through them, and apply cutting edge research to global financial markets. Our culture is unique. Constant innovation requires fearlessness, creativity, intellectual honesty, and a relentless competitive streak. We believe in winning together and unlocking unique individual talent by incenting collaboration and mutual respect. At Jump, research outcomes drive more than superior risk adjusted returns. We design, develop, and deploy technologies that change our world, fund start-ups across industries, and partner with leading global research organizations and universities to solve problems.\nWe are seeking a Quantitative Developer to help support one of our global research teams. In this role, you will collaborate closely with the team's researchers to maintain the team's infrastructure as they relate to live trading outcomes. This is a hybrid development and research and trading operations position. You'll be responsible for ensuring the reliability of the team's research pipeline-diagnosing idiosyncratic and fixing observed issues in research and trading systems, making jobs more stable, and stepping in when things go wrong. We are looking for a mature, self-directed engineer who can operate independently and handle high-stakes situations with confidence. The more efficiently you can automate and stabilize operations, the more time you'll have to focus on performance-oriented development work.\nWhat You'll Do\nManage and evolve the monitoring system: Act as the primary escalation point for error messages and failed jobs. Chase problems identified by the monitoring system to their source-identifying bugs, writing fixes, and resolving issues yourself rather than forwarding them on. Maintain a big-picture understanding of all processes overseen by the monitoring system.\nImprove pipeline efficiency and performance: Investigate recurring pipeline issues and solve them at a systemic level. Optimize performance-critical workloads-for example, making ML models and GPU jobs run faster and more efficiently.\nEngage in full-cycle development: Contribute across research, coding, testing, and deploying systems into production. Provide direct support to end users, troubleshoot issues, and manage system upgrades. Design and maintain robust testing, deployment, rollout, and rollback processes.\nOther duties and responsibilities assigned.\nSkills You'll Need\nAt least 2-5+ years of experience in a production engineering or trade support function. Experience solving challenging problems through code in a live trading environment.\n Strong software development skills in Python (primary) and C++, with the ability to build efficient, modular, and reliable systems. A performance-oriented mindset is essential.\nStrong production engineering skills in Linux and Bash, including scripting to get systems up and running, troubleshooting, monitoring, and operating real-time systems under pressure.\nHands-on debugging ability: Follow error messages to their source, identify the underlying problem, and begin the fix- This is a role for someone who resolves issues, not someone who escalates them.\nMaturity and independence: Comfortable operating autonomously in a high-stakes environment where downtime carries real consequences.\nReliable and predictable availability to ensure smooth operations of production systems, including responsiveness during trading hours when needed.\nStrong learning ability, intellectual curiosity, versatility, and originality combined with a pragmatic outlook. This position is connected to all facets of the \"research to risk on” process and is accordingly well suited to people who wanting to learn all facets of the big picture. \nAbility to reason through quantitative problems and communicate effectively with quantitative researchers and engineers.\nNice to Have\nUnderstanding of neural networks and experience optimizing ML/GPU workloads for performance.\nExperience with modern infrastructure and deployment practices such as CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, containerization, and observability tooling (e.g., GitLab, Jenkins, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana).\nTwo or more years working with industrial-grade codebases in Python and C++.\nFamiliarity with distributed large-scale systems.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4448,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-24T05:57:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":71,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.792,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":69,"expected_fill_days":102,"reasons":["conf:2","win:mid","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/jump-trading-quantitative-developer-trading-team","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/jump-trading-quantitative-developer-trading-team.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T20:38:52Z","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":31581,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"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":58634},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=58634"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjump-trading-quantitative-developer-trading-team"},{"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%2Fjump-trading-quantitative-developer-trading-team"},{"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%2Fjump-trading-quantitative-developer-trading-team"},{"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/jump-trading-quantitative-developer-trading-team\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjump-trading-quantitative-developer-trading-team"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":164638}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"jumptrading.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":164638},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
