As Director of Engineering, Strategy Applications, you will lead a group of high-performing technical teams responsible for a key component of the Voleon technology platform.  Your teams will operationalize the outputs of our research organization and power our trading engine.  Your group will develop abstractions that encapsulate core business logic for the entire firm that can be consumed across a wide portfolio of strategy types.  You will develop and own the systems that execute, reconcile, and bookkeep our trading operations each day. 

Your teams will be responsible for delivering a high-performance and high-availability model inference and quantitative trading components critical to the company's profitability.  You will ensure that our services are maximally available, designed for resiliency and redundancy.  You will bring an exceptional attention to detail to your work, ensuring that precision and correctness is applied across all dimensions of your team's portfolio.  You will develop deep observability across all these systems, and grow an operations team responsible for their implementation.

You will work directly with the VP of Engineering to execute on your vision for your team.  You will grow and scale your team according to a roadmap that you develop and own, ensuring accountable, reliable delivery of this roadmap.  You'll develop both individual engineers in your group, as well as senior staff reporting directly to you, to deliver ever more from your organization.  You'll collaborate with peers in engineering and stakeholders in research to balance a diverse set of requirements, and make tradeoffs to ensure the best outcomes for the firm.

We look for brilliant people with a passion for solving problems through innovation and engineering fundamentals. You’ll work in a collaborative environment that encourages creative thinking and efficient implementation. We embrace experimentation. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers recruited from leading technology companies and selected from the sharpest minds at university programs. You and your teams will collaborate closely with top machine learning researchers.
