C Jobs - February 2022

Symmetry Investments | Many Varied Roles | REMOTE or VISA (London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jersey) | D, Julia, Kotlin, other functional and systems languages | Full-Time, Fixed Term, Flexible

## Roles we are hiring for

- Business Analysts: business analysis, documentation, team and tool design

- Native Code Developers: We are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D. Our experience has been that strong C and C++ developers can learn D quite quickly.

- Functional programmers to work with practitioners in delivering value to the business using Symmetry Integration Language.

- Documentation: At Symmetry we recognise the value of writing and have for example a Pulitzer prize-winning former WSJ journalist and a maintainer of Linux Kernel Newbies documentation. We are looking for people to write technical documentation and to document data structures and processes (open to varying range of technical ability depending on the project).

- Front end design: designers - ideally with some ability to program - to work on usability and aesthetics for our applications and other information-presenting systems, on both web and desktop

- Designers for documentation: Now that non-programming internal work is moving to markdown in git, we are hiring designers to work on templates and mini-logos for documentation and other work.

- Data Science: time series analysis in particular, including high frequency data sets that are too big for simple tools

- Information Security: incident response, threat intelligence, vulnerability management

- Platform: Platform as Code, Site Reliability Engineers, Windows desktop support; frontline server support and administration; application support

- Legal and Compliance: #lawyerswhocode or who are very comfortable working with markdown in git

- Accounting: are you the sort of person who would use #ledger-cli ? If so, we would like to hear from you.

- Business: risk, operations, administrative, organisational design and business strategy, investor relations processes, talent acquisition

- Investment: Economics, Quant, Portfolio Research, Investment Research, Portfolio Management and Trading

- Market Data: contract administration, data cleaning, alternative data research and management

## About Us

Symmetry Investments is a post startup USD 9+ billion alternative asset management company with around 250 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, accelerated by the pandemic.

I'm co-CEO and co-COO, 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 five 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++, D, and C# at runtime and interoperate with Python and R. 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 Chief Investment Officer starts asking you questions about your work.

Qualcomm | Austin, TX, USA | Full Time | ONSITE | QEMU

https://qualcomm.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External/job/Se...

My team is looking to hire 2 software developers to help us design and extend QEMU support [1] for the Hexagon DSP [2]. We’re looking for candidates who have experience coding in C, C++ or Rust* and who aren’t afraid of rolling up their sleeves and poring over disassembled code. This particular architecture is a bit more challenging than most, because it’s a bit unique. It’s a VLIW [3], so it’s a great opportunity to learn about an interesting architecture. Millions of Hexagon DSPs are out there, most are found in Snapdragon SoCs for Android phones and more!

We collaborate a lot with Open Source communities like QEMU, LLVM [4], the Linux kernel [5], and more.

The link above may require you to jump through some hoops creating an account. If you have any trouble with it, you can contact me directly (email addr is in my HN user link). If you like the idea of working on stuff like open source toolchains but QEMU is not your thing, let me know. There’s other opportunities too.

* Rust experience may serve the role well but we don’t (yet) have any product software in Rust.
