Work on high-performance C++ quant library design and optimization for advanced options analytics.
Требования
- You have a Bachelor's degree or Master's degree in a computer science or another highly technical discipline (physics, engineering, chemistry, etc.)
- You have roughly 2 to 6 years of professional C++ experience, or comparable depth from academic or open source work.
- You've worked substantially in a large C++ codebase, in industry or academia, and you're fluent in modern object-oriented and/or functional programming paradigms.
- You are proficient in Python and have used at least one other systems language (Rust, C#, Java, etc.).
- You care how your code reads. You write clear, concise, well-organized C++.
- You are comfortable with using agent-driven development workflows to generate high-quality code.
- You're careful. You test your work to know it's right, and you think through numerical edge cases before a client finds them.
- You're rigorous about performance. You measure first, and you understand how the hardware affects the code you write.
- You explain your thinking clearly, in code, review comments, design discussions, and writing.
- You work well independently, and just as well as part of a small, hybrid team.
- You are authorized to work in the US.
Будет плюсом
- Hardware-aware programming: SIMD, GPUs, cache behavior, concurrency.
- Active open-source contributor in the C++ ecosystem.
- Experience working on an options market making or derivatives quant library, or other quantitative finance background.
Другое
- Vola Dynamics is the world's most sophisticated software and research company for advanced options analytics. Our volatility fitter and ultra-fast option pricers are the market standard, powering decisions at the world’s leading hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, market makers, and global banks.
- In this role, you'll work directly with our CTO on the design of our large-scale, high-performance C++ quant library. You'll own performance-critical code, work on high-level library design questions, and be the on-staff C++ expert that our team trusts when something needs to be fast and correct. As part of a small, hands-on team, you'll have real ownership from day one and your work will have an immediate and outsized impact. This is a rare position for an engineer who wants to work on genuinely hard problems at the intersection of numerical software, performance optimization, and software architecture.
- We're a hybrid team, in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. What You'll Do
- Core library development: Build and develop our core C++ quant library, from interface design through implementation, tests, and documentation.
- Library design: You'll help design the internal APIs that our team uses as well as the external APIs that our clients depend on to power their trading.
- Performance work: Investigate and profile algorithms, functions, or entire workflows to understand and improve their performance.
- Quantitative algorithms in production: Work with our quants to implement pricing and numerical models efficiently and correctly.
- Supporting other developers: Review code, answer design questions, and help teammates (who are strong quants or strong engineers but not always C++ specialists) write better C++.
- AI tooling: AI development tools (Claude Code, Codex, and similar) are a standard part of how we build software here, and we'll expect you to use them well.
- Build systems and developer experience: Cut build times, improve the test and CI setup, and improve the developer experience.
