Man Group Tech | Quant Python Engineer | London, UK | Onsite | Full Time As a Quant Python Engineer at Man you will be building the tools, frameworks, libraries and applications which power our Quantitative Research and Systematic Trading. This includes responsibility for the continued success of “Raptor”, our in-house Quant Platform, next generation Data Engineering, and evolution of our production Trading System as we continually expand the markets and types of assets we trade, and the styles in which we trade them. Your challenges will be varied and might involve building new high performance data acquisition and processing pipelines, cluster-computing solutions, numerical algorithms, position management systems, visualisation and reporting tools, operational user interfaces, continuous build systems and other developer productivity tools.

Our systems are almost all running on Linux and most of our code is in Python, with the full scientific stack: numpy, scipy, pandas, scikit-learn to name a few of the libraries we use extensively. We implement the systems that require the highest data throughput in Java. For storage, we rely heavily on MongoDB and Oracle.

We use Airflow for workflow management, Kafka for data pipelines, Bitbucket for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, ELK for log shipping and monitoring, Docker for containerisation, OpenStack for our private cloud, Ansible for architecture automation, and HipChat for internal communication. But our technology list is never static: we constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.

Alpha Tech has a small company, no-attitude feel. It is flat structured, open, transparent and collaborative, and you will have plenty of opportunity to grow and have enormous impact on what we do. We are actively engaged with the broader technology community.

o We host and sponsor London’s PyData and Machine Learning Meetups o We open-source some of our technology. See https://github.com/man-group o We regularly talk at leading industry conferences, and tweet about relevant technology and how we’re using it. See @manquanttech Essential Skills o Exceptional technology skills; recognised by your peers as an expert in your domain o A proponent of strong collaborative software engineering techniques and methods: agile development, continuous integration, code review, unit testing, refactoring and related approaches o Expert knowledge in one or more programming languages, preferably Python, Java and/or C/C++ o Proficient on Linux platforms with knowledge of various scripting languages o Strong knowledge of one or more relevant database technologies e.g. Oracle, MongoDB o Proficient with a range of open source frameworks and development tools e.g. NumPy/SciPy/Pandas, Pyramid, AngularJS, React o Familiarity with a variety of programming styles (e.g. OO, functional) and in-depth knowledge of design patterns.

TextQL is building full self-driving for the modern data stack. We're automating the day to day job of a data analyst, from pulling dashboards to answering data questions straight from a company's data warehouse. Non-technical users should be able to ask any data-driven question to TextQL's chat bot and get a relevant, trustworthy answer.

We just closed our seed round with ~$4M in financing, have significant revenue and a growing base of paying customers, and are well positioned to become the leader in automated data analysis.

We're looking to bring on software engineers to help us solve the most complex challenges in the data analytics space and enhance the capabilities of our TextQL platform. As a software engineer at TextQL, you'll play a vital role in revolutionizing the way data analysis is conducted, making it more accessible and efficient for everyone. You'll work on interesting technical problems and be given full autonomy in designing, implementing, and launching your solution.

Some of our current projects involve: - Building structured parsers and action executors on top of language models to provide a rich chat experience, secure python and SQL execution, dashboard search, and graceful failure handling. - Indexing our customers' entire knowledge base of dashboards, docs, and data transformations in order to write accurate queries from a business and technical context (should I use a left or inner join? is revenue inclusive or exclusive of sales commission?) - Building out connectors to a ton of data tools; warehouses, dashboards, catalogs, metrics layers, and more!

Tech stack is Haskell + Typescript (Svelte) + Nix right now. Tech stack experience not necessary if you're willing to learn.

We're looking for people who: - Are customer obsessed: Understand that making happy customers is our number one priority, not writing flashy features or adding dependent types to the codebase. Be willing to talk to and take the time to understand our customers. - Take ownership: Be willing to formulate and implement both technical and non-technical solutions to important business problems, and never say "that's not my job". - Are proactive: Identify and fix problems without being asked.

Our current team: - Mark (me) was a software engineer at Facebook working on Sigma/Haxl before leaving to start TextQL with Ethan. - Ethan led the Data Team at as an early employee at Tackle.io, a $1.25b cloud software startup. - Three other software engineers, including two extremely sharp college dropouts and two former startup founders. - One person working on Sales + Operations, the former highest-performing salesperson at Tackle.io for multiple years straight

Other facts about the job: - We are currently remote, but as we grow will likely move to require some kind of in-person work around 1-2 department headquarters. If you're located in or open to moving to either San Francisco, New York, or London, there should be no problem. Apologies for the uncertainty here. Relocation and visa support will be provided if needed. - All Experience Levels (full-time, new graduate okay, internship unlikely but happy to look) - Salary: $105k-170k with a generous equity grant scaling on seniority.

bloop (YC S21) | Rust AI Engineer | Onsite | London, UK

We're a YC + tier-1 VC backed startup, working on an AI chat assistant for software developers that can answer questions about any large codebase.

About you: you hack around with GPT on the weekend, maybe you even fine-tune some of these new open source models. But you're also a solid programmer, capable of not just prototyping a nice demo but also shipping performant code that can scale. You're probably quite good at what you do, maybe you were top of your class, or maybe you rose the ranks to your comfortable management role, but yearn for the days of writing code, redbull and deploying on a Friday.

We're a small team, looking for one individual to join us in London, in-person at least 3 days per week.

Please reach out to me at join [at] bloop [dot] ai with "HN Rust Engineer" in the subject line and a note about why this is exciting and a link to your portfolio or linkedin/resume.

P.S. Our stack is Rust, so it's likely the role will go to a candidate with Rust experience but if you think you have something to offer that compensates for lack of Rust we should chat anyway!

Genpax | Full-stack/product engineer | London, UK | ONSITE (hybrid/flexible) | https://www.genpax.co/

We're building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. Using bioinformatics, we can help hospitals take early and effective action against outbreaks of MRSA and other pathogens.

Our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which whole genome sequencing (WGS) data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and appropriate responses to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed a unique solution to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system.

I'm looking for an experienced full-stack (/'product') engineer to join our small engineering team - initially to focus on building out a novel interactive tree-based UI. There are some interesting challenges throughout the stack. We're using Python, GraphQL, React/TypeScript, Postgres and AWS, but open minded to adopting technologies that make sense.

Evertas Insurance | US-based REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.evertas.com/ | https://www.evertas.com/careers/

Evertas is the world's first cryptoasset insurance company. We're a Bermuda carrier, Lloyd's of London coverholder, and have been around for almost 6 years. (We raised a $15mm Series A in late 2022.) We write real policies which actually cover significant risk for clients, quantify premiums based on the effectiveness of deployed controls, and do professional services for clients to put better controls in place (or helping other insurance companies with underwriting and claims adjustments).

The best pitch for the company is: Join us to prevent the next SBF/FTX/3AC/Luna/Celsius... meltdown, by providing tools for the industry to police itself, provide meaningful risk transference, ensure best practices are documented and commercially required, and avoid uninformed and unproductive government regulatory retaliation instead of meaningful public/private beneficial governance -- and make a bunch of money for everyone while doing so.

(I'm Chief Security Officer; have been involved in crypto since the 1990s (blinded tokens), and I love insurance as a powerful tool to improve security across the industry. The rest of the team are also cryptocurrency and security OGs, with industry and institutional experience.)

We're looking to hire 1-2 Security Engineers. Primarily this is for underwriting and professional services in the cryptocurrency space, as well as research into risks in the space (and mitigations). A great thing about insurance is it's not "call in the middle of the night over a holiday with a crisis", but solving things prospectively for clients, but still having significant and meaningful impact.

We're open to security experts moving into cryptocurrency, or cryptocurrency experts moving into security, but obviously having interest in both is key (and expertise in both would be amazing). We highly value professionalism, integrity, and a problem-solving nature. Would be very interested in people who currently or recently worked at downsizing, technically excellent security teams in the crypto industry or in security-critical adjacent industries.

We have some product development plans as well, so a few pure developer roles are going to open up in Q4.

(We would be open to remote hires outside USA at some point; the complexity is handling nexus and HR and such with a small team. If you're an experienced contractor/consultant who can do corp to corp, that would be a lot easier for us now.)

Please apply through the form at https://www.evertas.com/careers/ (PLEASE NO RECRUITERS)
