The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to join an award-winning investment company led by two accomplished executives with more than 50+ years of combined experience. You will be working alongside a small team working across a variety of functions (handling portfolio management, research, software engineering, operations, and investor relations/sales), so regular internal interaction with all parts of the business is a necessity. Working across work streams allows us to be creative and combine cross-function ideas to generate better solutions. Collaboration across teams will allow you to gain exposure to the investment side of the fund, where regular discussions on trading opportunities and risk assessment are held.

This role combines software engineering excellence with data engineering expertise to handle large-scale financial data processing and real-time trading systems. Some recent projects include:

• Building tools that enable users to reconstruct and analyze portfolio states at any historical point, providing minute-level precision 
• Creating live dashboards that provide continuous portfolio exposure tracking, enabling immediate risk management decisions when thresholds are exceeded
• Developing automated hourly Net Asset Value (NAV) calculation pipelines to deliver real-time validation estimates to provide operations teams with NAV estimates
• Building a comprehensive pricing platform that support trader workflows across the firm's investable universe

Minimum Qualifications 

• Prior internship experience is preferred. Academic projects or personal projects demonstrating programming skills are valued.
• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related fields (Bachelor's, Master's)
• Academic exposure to web development, databases, or financial systems would be an asset. Eagerness to learn about trading systems and financial data processing is essential.
• Strong programming principles with proven ability to write production-grade Python code, including testing and documentation
• Strong interpersonal skills with a keenness to work in a highly collaborative environment.
• Ambitious and confident, but humble

Preferred Qualifications
