Quantitative Developer

Omega Capital · Development Committee · Cohort I, 2026 · Student Association
About the role
Developers carry a broad mandate: turning approved research into production-grade strategy code, keeping the ATLAS engine itself running, and building the surfaces that let the quantitative trading committee see what's happening. ATLAS is our internal trading system, a Python codebase with performance-critical components in C++, alongside the public website, the trading dashboard, and other supporting tooling.
What you'll do
Translate approved research papers into tested, production-grade strategy implementations inside ATLAS
Maintain and extend the ATLAS engine: refactoring, reliability, uptime, and throughput
Build and improve the trading dashboard, the read-only view of positions, orders, portfolio, and strategy attribution that the quant trading committee rely on daily
Operate the website and any other ATLAS-adjacent tooling
Write C++ for the modules where Python becomes the bottleneck
What we're looking for
Solid engineering fundamentals and comfort reading someone else's research and turning it into correct, tested code
Working knowledge of Python; C++ is a strong plus, especially for anyone drawn to performance work
An interest in frontend or data-visualization work is a plus for anyone drawn to the dashboard side rather than the engine
Low ego, willing to have code sent back for a missing test, and to send others' back in turn
Documentation discipline: a bug report or PR description someone else can act on unprompted
A genuine interest in markets, not just in the engineering
Process
CV screening, one interview, then offer. Cohort I closes end of September 2026
