Job Description

WorldQuant develops and deploys systematic financial strategies across a broad range of asset classes and global markets. We seek to produce high-quality predictive signals (alphas) through our proprietary research platform to employ financial strategies focused on market inefficiencies. Our teams work collaboratively to drive the production of alphas and financial strategies – the foundation of a balanced, global investment platform.

WorldQuant is built on a culture that pairs academic sensibility with accountability for results. Employees are encouraged to think openly about problems, balancing intellectualism and practicality. Excellent ideas come from anyone, anywhere. Employees are encouraged to challenge conventional thinking and possess an attitude of continuous improvement.

Our goal is to hire the best and the brightest. We value intellectual horsepower first and foremost, and people who demonstrate an outstanding talent. There is no roadmap to future success, so we need people who can help us build it.

Technologists at WorldQuant research, design, code, test and deploy firmwide platforms and tooling while working collaboratively with researchers and portfolio managers. Our environment is relaxed yet intellectually driven. We seek people who think in code and are motivated by being around like-minded people.

 

The Role
WorldQuant is seeking a Lead Engineer to lead our firmwide reference data and security master products. This is a critical leadership position responsible for driving innovation, scalability, and excellence in our reference data solutions.

What You’ll Do

  • Strategic Leadership: Partner with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deploy scalable reference data and SecMaster solutions that align with business requirements and strategic goals.
  • Architectural Oversight: Collaborate with and lead our engineering team to define and implement a robust platform architecture that supports the firm’s growth and scalability objectives.
  • Customer-Centric Approach: Lead all business initiatives and provide global support to internal customers for all reference data offerings, ensuring exceptional service and alignment with their needs.
  • Agile Processes: Drive and participate in Agile frameworks, continuously improving and expanding platform capabilities to adapt to dynamic business requirements.

What You’ll Bring

  • Experience: A minimum of 10 years of experience in the financial services industry, with a strong focus on reference data and SecMaster solutions.
  • Leadership: Proven ability to act as a business and technical thought leader, sharing best practices and driving innovation.
  • Project Ownership: Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects involving collaboration across multiple teams and stakeholders.
  • Mentorship: A track record of mentoring and collaborating with engineers to foster growth and excellence.
  • Problem-Solving Skills: A rapid learner with exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities, capable of navigating complex challenges effectively.
