Excellent ideas come from anyone, anywhere. Employees are encouraged to challenge conventional thinking and possess an attitude of continuous improvement. Our goal is to hire the best and the brightest. We value intellectual horsepower first and foremost, and people who demonstrate an outstanding talent. There is no roadmap to future success, so we need people who can help us build it. Technologists at WorldQuant research, design, code, test and deploy firmwide platforms and tooling while working collaboratively with researchers. Our environment is relaxed yet intellectually driven. We seek people who think in code and are motivated by being around like-minded people.

This role is ideal for someone who loves building production systems, enjoys working deeply with text and large language models, and wants their engineering work to empower quantitative research at the firm. You'll join a highly technical, collaborative environment where you work closely with Research and where your ideas can quickly translate into impact at scale.
