Software Infrastructure Engineer We're looking for a uniquely talented software engineer to join our world-class team. PDTers are creative, energetic, friendly, entrepreneurial, and collaborative. If you could walk around our office, you'd see that we're a focused, intent, and nimble company with none of the attitude and bureaucracy of a stereotypical Wall Street trading firm. Our engineers love to work on challenging and complicated problems, and in return, they have a chance to make a direct impact on our bottom line. For the right talent, there is fantastic growth potential. An efficient and well-tooled engineering team is crucial to a successful quantitative trading firm, and as a member of PDT's Software Infra team you'll design and build our next generation software development platform, ensuring our engineering team has access to best-in-class tools and you'll act as a force multiplier to all engineers within PDT. As a SI engineer, you'll:
- Cultivate an understanding of our developers and build relationships across all of engineering.
- Design a developer experience that finds the sweet spot between developer and platform velocity.
- Identify gaps in our ecosystem and coordinate across the Platform organization to solve user needs.
- Build and maintain developer tools, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD leveraging open-source and third party software.
Why join us? PDT Partners has a stellar 30+ year track record and a reputation for excellence. Our goal is to be the best quantitative investment manager in the world-measured by the quality of our products, not their size. PDT's very high employee-retention rate speaks for itself. Our people are intellectually extraordinary, and our community is close-knit, down-to-earth, and diverse. Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience establishing and advocating engineering best practices across diverse engineering teams
