Now you have my curiosity

You'll work together with other developers and researchers to build and deploy fully automated, high-performance trading systems, powered by real-time machine learning.

You have a background in academia and at least two years of work experience in Python and C++ or Rust. Asynchronous, concurrent and multi-threaded code should be familiar to you and you'll also need some strong scripting abilities in Bash.
