What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer – Systematic Trading Team position at Saragossa?
Software Engineer – Building Systematic Trading Desk | New York, NY (On-site, 5 days/week)
Compensation: $175,000 – $225,000 base bonus (up to ~$400,000 total comp)
A growing hedge fund in NYC is expanding into systematic trading and is looking for a strong software engineer to help build the core technology powering the effort. This isn’t a traditional “pod” setup, engineers, quants, and PMs are all stakeholders working together toward a common goal.
You’ll play a key role in shaping how the desk operates: helping researchers access the data they need, improving the speed and reliability of the platform, and making sure ideas can efficiently move from research into production trading.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building and improving systems that ingest and organize market and vendor data
- Creating tools and infrastructure that accelerate quant research
- Working directly with engineers, researchers, and PMs to support strategy development
- Taking ideas from prototype to live trading in a scalable, robust way
What We're Looking For
- Strong Python engineering skills; experience with an additional language is a plus
- Knowledge of data pipelines, distributed systems, or cloud technologies
- Familiarity with AWS (S3, Lambda, Kubernetes, etc.) is helpful
- Someone who enjoys collaboration and taking ownership across different areas
If you want to contribute to a highly visible initiative, be close to decision-making, and help build something impactful from the ground up, apply now.
Salary : $175,000 - $225,000
