The role

Join a very small engineering group as a full-stack developer, supporting and growing internal web applications and data systems, and creating new ones.

• Add new capabilities to current tools as needs change.
• Design and create new internal applications.
• Automate routine processes with scripts.
• Query and shape data in relational databases for production use.
• Work side by side with the engineering lead and gradually take on more scope.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• Comfortable scripting and automating tasks in Python.
• Solid working knowledge of a modern TypeScript web framework and its common supporting libraries, or closely comparable tools.
• Hands-on background with relational databases and dependable, production-grade queries.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science with a GPA above 3.0.
• Willingness to work on-site four days a week, with Friday remote.
• Self-directed, detail-oriented, efficient and happy working on a small team.

Bonus points

• Prior work integrating large language model services into automated or multi-step workflows.
• Exposure to cloud hosting and deployment automation.
• Experience in finance, fintech or a quantitative setting, including related coursework.
