Job Description - Software Development Manager

WorldQuant develops and deploys systematic financial strategies across a broad range of asset classes and global markets. We seek to produce high-quality predictive signals (alphas) through our proprietary research platform to employ financial strategies focused on market inefficiencies. Our teams work collaboratively to drive the production of alphas and financial strategies – the foundation of a balanced, global investment platform.


WorldQuant is built on a culture that pairs academic sensibility with accountability for results. Employees are encouraged to think openly about problems, balancing intellectualism and practicality. Excellent ideas come from anyone, anywhere. Employees are encouraged to challenge conventional thinking and possess an attitude of continuous improvement.


Our goal is to hire the best and the brightest. We value intellectual horsepower first and foremost, and people who demonstrate an outstanding talent. There is no roadmap to future success, so we need people who can help us build it.

The Role: We are seeking a senior technology leader to manage a high performing team that handles our electronic execution. In collaboration with the team’s software architect we are looking for someone to:


  • Retain, recruit, and develop a lean team of developers

  • Drive cross team collaboration to ensure prioritization and execution

  • Lead the adaptation of best-in-class engineering practices consistent with our technology organization’s  philosophy

  • Escalate and resolve intra- and cross-group misalignment as needed 


 

What You'll Bring:



  • Previous experience as a software engineering manager leading experienced teams or technology organizations within the financial domain

  • Ability to reduce complex concepts into understandable, actionable tasks

  • Proven experience with delivering best in class technology platforms in C++, Java or Python

  • Familiarity with and inspired by trends in modern computing and new technologies

  • Degree in Computer Science and or related field and 10+ years’ experience leading strategy and delivering solutions for multiple industries and/or solution domains

  • Ability to act as an evangelist who inspires internal audiences through clarity of message and setting of  best practices




 


Locations: Chicago, NYC, CT, or  Austin

 


Our Benefits:


Core Benefits:



  • Fully paid medical and dental insurance for employees and dependents, flexible spending account, 401k, fully paid parental leave, generous PTO (paid time off) that consists of:




    • twenty vacation days that are pro-rated based on the employee’s start date, at an accrual of 1.67 days per month, three personal days, and
      ten sick days.


  • Perks: Employee discounts for gym memberships, wellness activities, healthy snacks, casual dress code

  • Training: learning and development courses, speakers, team-building off-site
