Quantitative Engineer

Elity Global
York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 4/19/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/18/2026

Work on systems where milliseconds matter and ideas turn into production in days, not months. You’ll join a high-performance trading team building fully automated strategies powered by real-time data, advanced modelling, and high-throughput infrastructure.


What you'll do

  • Build and scale systems that take strategies from research to live trading
  • Develop realistic, high-performance backtesting and simulation frameworks
  • Design and optimise feature signal pipelines across large, fast-moving datasets
  • Work on latency-sensitive systems where performance directly impacts PnL
  • Ensure research and production behave identically under real-world conditions
  • Debug complex issues across the full stack - from data ingestion to execution


What you'll get

  • Your code runs in live markets - fast feedback, real impact
  • Work on performance-critical systems (data, infra, execution)
  • High ownership in a small, highly technical team
  • Modern stack with freedom to improve and rebuild where needed
  • Strong compensation with performance upside


Base Salary Range

  • $200,000 - $225,000 USD


Who You Are

  • 3–7 years in quant dev, trading systems, or performance-critical engineering
  • Strong Python C in production environments
  • Experience with large-scale data, simulation, or real-time systems
  • Solid understanding of statistics / time series
  • Interested in low-latency, systems design, and optimisation
  • Comfortable moving between research and production code
