About Alphataraxia
Alphataraxia Management (ATX) is a fast-growing quantitative investment management group with offices in both Washington, DC and Culver City, Los Angeles, CA.

We are currently one of the top participants in the power markets and are looking for hard-working candidates with genuine enthusiasm for solving complex problems to join our collaborative and high-caliber team.
The role

- Providing a scalable, reliable foundation for the firm’s most critical data and tools.
- Accelerating and scaling valuable prototypes into robust production solutions.
- Rapidly resolving technical barriers that slow teams down.

You'll be the one person principally focused in this area, with the rest of Platform (four engineers focused mostly on the Data and Developer Platform) helping you ramp.
