## Roles we are hiring for
- Business Analysts: business analysis, documentation, team and tool design

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).
- 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, vuln 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

- Business: risk, operations, administrative, organisational design and business strategy, investor relations processes
- Investment: Economics, Quant, Portfolio Research, Investment Research, Portfolio Management and Trading
- Market Data: contract administration, data cleaning, alternative data research and management
Location: Remote or sponsorship for a visa in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jersey

## 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.

Beacon Biosignals | Multiple Positions | NYC, Boston, Remote | Full Time
Brain monitoring is not easily accessible, interpretable or actionable. We're going to fix this, and we'd like you to help.
With improved access to brain data and the right tools to act on it, clinicians could intervene in real-time, match life-altering therapies to the patients they benefit most, and treat previously untreatable neurological and psychiatric diseases.
We're a small startup founded by numerical programmers, neuroscientists, ML researchers, and practicing neurologists who are committed to translating our best-of-breed clinical research from the lab into hospitals and beyond.
Our team is composed of neuro-experts, product development experts, open-source enthusiasts, audio/DSP/compilers nerds, and generally easy-going (but dedicated!) folks.
We believe that:
- Successful product development requires rapid, early feedback from real patients and clinicians.
- Feats of technical wizardry are only useful in combination with honest, frequent, and open communication.
- A diverse team builds more robust systems and practices more meaningful science.
We have a few different roles available, and are always happy to chat with interested folks. Interested in working with PostgreSQL, React, and/or Julia daily? Reach out!
To apply, check out https://beacon.bio/careers.
PlantingSpace | REMOTE | Full-time / flexible | https://planting.space
We are an early-stage research and development startup. Our ambitious goal is to build a system capable of understanding knowledge, to answer questions and get things done. Our work leverages cutting-edge domains such as Probabilistic Programming and Applied Category Theory.
We are looking for strong developers to work in Julia, ideally with statistics or symbolic computing background, as well as researchers in areas of optimization, category theory and probabilistic programming.
We are also recently looking for frontend TypeScript developers familiar with data visualization and React/Vue.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York | Senior Data Scientist | ONSITE+PART REMOTE | Full-Time
I'm one of 5 data scientists on the team and we're now ramping up with our first new hire being a senior data scientist to lead the team. We work with other areas of the bank on a variety of projects. A lot of our work involves NLP, Climate Change, and various time series problems. There's quite a bit of flexibility outside of those domains as well. Our team works primarily in Python, but our only real rule is to use the right tool for the job. R, Julia, Matlab, and Stata are used across the bank.
Some additional background that the job description may not provide (In no particular order):
- Employees are given huge amounts of flexibility and excellent work/life balance.
- The banks remote work policy is up to individual teams, but on our team the expectation is 1 or 2 days in the office per week. Otherwise, you just need to live close enough to the office to make it in those days. "Close enough" is defined by you. Have a week where you can't make it into the office? No worries.
- 401k (1% auto contribution + 6% match) and Pension(!) are fully vested after 5 years.
- Relocation benefits are available.
- Generous paid parental leave, regardless of gender.
- Kind, caring, and diverse team. Some really interesting and excellent people.
- Generous PTO and a culture that truly respects the use of that PTO.
- Our team has the best institutional knowledge for lunch locations near the office, with specific expertise in China Town.
- Full size private indoor basket ball/volleyball/soccer court on top of a castle looking building in Manhattan.
- Work on top of the largest gold vault in the world. (Tours are free, open to the public, and take ~45 min. Even if you're not interested in the role, I definitely recommend.)
If you're interested, feel free to email me or message me on LinkedIn with any questions and you can use my name in the job application as a referral. If you give me a heads up, I'll do my best to make sure HR doesn't accidentally screen you out. Contact info can be found in my HN profile.
Keep in mind the job description is pretty expansive. Please don't hesitate to apply even if you don't perfectly match the requirements.
