  • Ensure test coverage across functional, integration, performance, and security testing
  • Collaborate with engineers, researchers, data engineers and product teams to define test requirements and strategies for code and research pipelines testing. Identify gaps in existing testing strategies and coverage and work with engineering teams to address them.
  • Perform root cause analysis of defects and work with engineering teams to prevent recurrence
  • Develop and maintain quality metrics to track software quality trends.
  • Advocate for shift-left testing, ensuring issues are caught early in the development lifecycle
  • Participate in architectural and design discussions to incorporate testability and automation
  • Provide guidance on balancing automated vs. manual testing based on project needs.

Requirements

Must Haves

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with GoogleTest.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps methodologies.
  • Experience working with data pipelines.
  • Familiarity with test automation tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress or any other modern framework for API and UI testing
  • Familiarity with latency and performance testing tools like K6, Locust, or JMeter
  • Experience Python, Java, or Golang for writing automated test scripts.
  • Experience with database query languages (SQL, NoSQL) to validate data integrity and consistency.
  • Familiarity with big data technologies such as Apache Spark, Kafka, or Snowflake for data validation and processing.
  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools like Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, or ELK to analyze test results.

Interview Process

  1. Our VP of Engineering will review your CV.
  2. Our VP of Engineering will conduct the first round of interviews.
  3. Our partner will conduct an additional round of interviews on technical and cultural fit.
  4. Additional rounds may be conducted as necessary with other team members or our partners.

Throughout the process, you'll be assessed for cultural fit through our company values:

  1. Drive - We believe the best team members are passionate about what they do, and that propels them to greater heights in their career. It drives them to be part of the best teams where they are exposed to the best ideas.
  2. Ownership - We aim to give ownership interest to as many people in the firm as possible, but in return, we expect everyone to act like owners. "Not my responsibility" is a repugnant phrase to us.
  3. Judgment - We look for team members who consistently look at the big picture and spend their time on the activities that most drive PnL. They are pragmatic with their time; they don't stick to their narrow domain if it doesn't move the needle.
  4. Openness - We want a culture where we proactively share information with one another and challenge each other with constructive debate to reach the truth.
  5. Competence - We value people with high intellectual horsepower. They have already become an expert in one or more domains and learn extremely quickly when in unfamiliar territory.

Benefits

We are a rapidly growing hedge fund, 2 years old, managing a 9-figure AUM, generating 200%+ annualized returns with a 4 Sharpe.

We've grown to a team of ~40 across Trading & Research, Tech, and Operations.

This is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a rapidly growing team and industry. Each member of our team can make large, impactful contributions -- for which we compensate very well, with long-term upside.
