The Role
As a Quant Developer at Man Group you will be working hand-in-hand with our Quant Researchers. Your challenges will be varied, and will involve implementing new trading strategies, building new research frameworks and quant libraries, prototyping new data feeds, development of new portfolio construction techniques or building risk analysis tools.
The Team
Quant Developers at Man Group are all part of our broader technology team, members of a group of over sixty individuals representing eighteen nationalities. We have varied backgrounds including Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering - even Classics - but what unifies us is a passion for technology and writing high-quality code.
Our developers are organised into small cross-functional teams, with our engineering roles broadly of two kinds: Quant Platform Developers" otherwise known as our Core Techs", and Quant Developers" which we often refer to as Sector Techs". We use the term Sector Tech" because some of our teams are aligned with a particular asset class or market sector. People often rotate teams in order to learn more about our system, as well as find the position that best matches their interests.
Our Technology
Our systems are almost all running on Linux and most of our code is in Python, with the full scientific stack: numpy, scipy, pandas, scikit-learn to name a few of the open-source libraries we use extensively. We implement the systems that require the highest data throughput in Java and C++.
We use Airflow for workflow management, Kafka for data pipelines, Bitbucket for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, ELK for log shipping and monitoring, Docker and Kubernetes for containerisation, OpenStack for our private cloud, Ansible and Terraform for architecture automation, and Slack for internal communication. We heavily utilise ArcticDB ( https://arcticdb.io/ ) our in-house developed DataFrame Database. Our technology list is never static: we constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.
Working Here
Man Group has a small company, no-attitude feel. It is flat structured, open, transparent and collaborative, and you will have plenty of opportunity to grow and have enormous impact on what we do. We are actively engaged with the broader technology community.
