## About Us
Symmetry Investments is a post startup USD 7+ billion alternative asset management company with around 230 people across multiple time zones and locations.
Our core technology team has been remote-first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, post-COVID.
I'm one of the three people running the firm, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm.
We are four years into a period of transformation from what was initially a fairly standard enterprise finance technology approach to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager. [Amaury Sechet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhR4PSExnqk), [Andrei Alexandrescu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es6U7WAlKpQ) and [Atila Neves](https://dlang.org/blog/2019/10/15/my-vision-of-ds-future/) have been working with us as long-term consultants and we have many other talented people with lower public profiles.
It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming, but are oriented towards solving business problems, with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. SIL can compile and call C++ and D at runtime; Python interop is in alpha; and C# is on the way. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.
The language is written in D and we have a close involvement with the D Foundation and community, hosting DConf in London. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.
It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.
We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Haskell, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with the tools we use.
Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure - don't be surprised if our founder and CIO starts asking you questions about your work.

Sericin Limited | Senior Software Engineer | Hong Kong & +/-3hours | Full Time | https://sericin.net/
Apply to: careers@sericin.net
We are looking for full time Junior and Senior Developers to help us architect, engineer, integrate, deploy and improve a state-of-the-art leasing and asset management platform for landlords that own office buildings and shopping malls on ‘High Street’ in the world’s biggest metropoles.
Responsibilities: You are going to help us build a world-class SaaS-platform from the ground up, that allows landlords to navigate from their computer screen legal risks and valuation implications buried inside contract language, in a way the market never thought possible.
Requirements: The most important characteristic we're after is that you are a technologist – or however you self-identify your passion for developing and building technology that provides real commercial results – and are keen on participating in a pleasant and high functioning team. You don't have to know everything, but you do have to have the potential to learn anything quickly and you should know a lot about of the following disciplines: ● Cloud native development and deployment ● Full-stack development with excellent knowledge of backend technologies ● Knowledge of databases (noSQL and SQL) ● Modern Programming Languages like Java, Python, Javascript/nodeJS and a frontend framework (Vue.JS or React.JS)
Ultimately, you'll be excited about being at the inception of a high-performance environment, and you'll enjoy being pushed technically and organizationally to do things 'the right way' as part of the core team that is building a world-class product.
So, if you are someone who… ● enjoys UX / user-centric design and product delivery, ● is pragmatic and commercial, but never settles for mediocrity, ● values flexibility, but wants to have ownership of your tasks, ● gains satisfaction from solving puzzles and logic problems, ● likes communicating what you've discovered to your colleagues and customers in plain English, rather than encrypted acronyms, ● would enjoy a paid 2-week bonus Christmas break upon successful product launch and client acquisition, and ● is excited about building a product that marries ease of use with expert features to re-invent an ancient market, … we think you should get in touch, because you would be a great addition to our team!
Polymer Capital Management | Software Developer | Onsite (Flexible WFH) | Full-Time | Visa Transfer Only | Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong | https://www.polymercapital.com
Polymer Capital Management is an Asia-focused private asset manager for institutional investors. Our headquarter is in Hong Kong, with offices across Asia.
I'm representing the Risk & Quant Analytics department here, our projects cover risk analytics, quant research, program trading, and streamline/automate daily operation (including middle office, compliance, trading desk, etc.). That's a lot of topics to cover, so we are investing tons of resources in technology, and continuously hiring developers.
Our organization is flat, we follow Agile & DevOps best practices, developers are expected to be self-managed, curious, and proactive.
Our infrastructure is cloud based, AWS & GCP, with a mix of kubernetes & serverless setup.
Our major languages are C# (Backbone), JavaScript/TypeScript (Front-End, Serverless), Python (Data Science).
We want developers with good coding practices (unit tests, test-driven, CI/CD, infra as code), different industry backgrounds (tell me the unique technical challenges you tackled in your fields), not limited to financial background (you will learn all the math, statistical and financial knowledge in no time).
Since we expect developers to cover projects end-to-end, we don't prefer developers who only want to do a single section, like front-end or back-end; who are not able to communicate in English, since you need to face users and discuss solutions with fellow developers (if you are really good, limited capability is acceptable)

SimplePay | Ruby on Rails Developers | UTC+0 to UTC+8 | REMOTE
SimplePay is a profitable, developer-owned online payroll software company, with solid annual growth. Our software lets 23,000 small business owners (and their accountants) run their South African, Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong payrolls without headaches, so they can focus on the challenge of building their businesses. We're also developing new product lines.
Our development team was already mostly remote pre-pandemic. We have a very supportive culture, and are putting a lot of thought into ensuring remote work is happy work.
To find out more about us, check our developer blog (https://tech.simplepay.cloud) or about page (https://www.simplepay.co.za/about)
Do you believe SPAs are overkill for most apps, but wouldn't mind digging into Vue.js for pages that will benefit from the increased interactivity? Do you laugh when people give up the power of SQL DBs in favour of data stores that don't offer any benefits for their use case? If so, you may fit in well with our mindset.
Experience: Ruby on Rails. If you've used other web frameworks and are keen to get into Rails we'd definitely consider you! Just be sure to mention that in your application. The work is mostly on the back-end, but some front-end skills are welcome - we're doing more and more interactive things with Vue.js.
Location: UTC+0 to UTC+8
Please apply at https://teamsimplepay.applytojob.com/apply/52BYVkQodf/Senior... and attach your resume / CV in PDF format. In the "Cover Letter" section of the application, please include 1) the time zone in which you reside, and 2) a link to a PR created or an issue logged for an open source project (no matter how small or long ago) as the first two lines. Also tell us why you would like to join SimplePay.
