Senior Quant Research Engineer, Trading & Portfolio Optimization
Arta Finance, Bay Area
The role
Arta manages real client portfolios at scale, and the quality of our investment outcomes depends on a small team that builds the systems behind portfolio construction and trading. We're looking for a senior quant research engineer to help design the models that determine what our portfolios should hold and the logic that executes trades to get there efficiently.
This is a hybrid role for someone who thinks like both a quant and an engineer. You'll bring rigorous portfolio theory and optimization skills to bear on real investment decisions, and you'll build and ship the production systems that make those decisions at scale for thousands of client accounts. Reporting to the CIO, you'll work closely with the investment team on what our strategies should optimize for, and with engineering on how they run reliably in production.
We're looking for someone who has sat close to markets or portfolio management and brings that judgment to the table, not just someone who has studied portfolio theory in the abstract.
