You will be covering our night shift in our Chicago office alongside other engineers and researchers. Our DevOps team is specifically responsible for ensuring efficacy of our trading machines and the translation of research to production.

We leverage cutting-edge software and hardware to push production level code daily and evolve fully-automated strategies, alpha generation processes, live trading systems, and machine learning research and simulation infrastructure used to analyze petabytes of data. We provide starter projects that we know will add value to the firm, while encouraging exploration and independent projects to improve inefficiencies, propose iterations, and own significant processes and tools within your first few months.
