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 twenty-seven-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.
