Build AI-powered backend services and investor-facing products

Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers to transform research into production-ready software

Rapidly prototype and ship new product ideas using AI-assisted development workflows

Continuously improve product performance, reliability, and user experience

What we are looking for:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g. Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Financial Engineering, or Physics)

2-5 years of software engineering experience

Strong Python programming skills and experience building software products

Experience working with OPRA and other institutional options market data, along with options analytics (e.g. Greeks, implied volatility, or market microstructure)

Actively leverage AI coding tools and modern AI workflows (including MCP) as part of your daily development process

Curious, self-driven, and passionate about building products that investors xsgimln actually use

Nice to have:

Experience building financial software or trading products

Experience with LLMs, AI agents, or AI-powered applications

Open-source contributions or personal projects related to AI or financial markets

What you will build:

You'll help build a next-generation options intelligence platform that transforms institutional-grade market data into actionable insights for individual investors. Your software will power AI-driven options analytics and products that help investors understand what markets are doing, why they're moving, and what options markets may be pricing in.
