Software Engineers - HPC / Distributed Systems- Sophisticated Prop Trading Firm

Unique opportunity to join this hugely successful prop trading firm as they scale significantly, building out a brand-new central trading team.
With major investment in GPUs and compute infrastructure, the aim is to build from scratch a best-in-class platform, redefining how alpha is generated. To do this, they're looking for exceptional HPC/Distributed Systems Engineers to sit within a pod-like structure - but with much more shared capital, strategic influence and collaboration across a centralised book.
Alongside the infrastructure investment, what makes this opportunity especially interesting is the level of commitment behind it:

• Greenfield environment with the opportunity to build the research stack from scratch
• Strong autonomy and ability to shape direction from an early stage
• Deep learning-first philosophy across research and modelling

Experience in the following is ideal:

• Distributed training (e.g. XGBoost via Ray)
• GPU-heavy workloads
• MapReduce-style systems

You'll be expected to have a strong skills background in:

• Ray, Spark, Dask
• Databricks, Anyscale, Cloudera, or Snowflake
• Kubernetes (K8s) for ML clusters
• Strong analytical, independent problem-solving, and communication

Benefits

• Competitive salary and discretionary bonuses
• Generous paid vacation allowance
• Free breakfast, lunch, and snacks on a daily basis
• Reimbursement for health & wellness expenses
• Donation matching program
