Project

We are building a financial platform that will research and run systematic trading strategies. 

We collaborate with the quant team on strategies research, risk modeling, and portfolio optimizations. Our software engineering team embeds the corresponding logic into the platform. 

Similar systems already exist on the market, but quants need to use several of them to research and run trading strategies. Our client’s idea is to build a system that can do it all.  

Client: Several quants with 15+ years of Wall Street experience. 

Team: 25 people divided into three sub-teams. 

Project’s Stack 

Frontend: Typescript, Material UI, React, Jest, ESLint, Recharts.  

Backend (Microservices): Kotlin, Groovy, Python, Micronaut, Flask, Gatling, Locust, Spock, FastAPI, Pytest, Pandas, NumPy, SQLAIchemy. 

Databases: AWS DocumentDB, PostgreSQL. 

Infrastructure/pipelines: AWS, Airflow, Terraform, Terraspace, Docker, Gradle, Tekton, VCS, Git. 

What a Lead Software Engineer will do: 

• Design cloud-native software for AWS using AWS Well-Architected Framework,  

• Design functional behavior of software based on user needs, 

• Code using CI/CD and TDD practices, 

• Organize and coordinate the team, 

• Communicate with the client and the team daily,
