- Perform statistical analysis to identify anomalies, trends, and irregularities, and share clear reports with the team
- Maintain and manage databases, including backups, storage, and overall data health
- Develop a deep understanding of the datasets we use and serve as the go-to person for data-related questions
- Coordinate with internal teams and external providers to resolve data issues
What We're Looking For:
- Strong programming skills in Python
- Good understanding of SQL and working with databases
- Familiarity with working with APIs and handling different data formats
- Solid foundation in statistics and data analysis
- Strong attention to detail and a habit of questioning data that doesn't look right
- Ownership mindset: you take responsibility for data being correct and available on time
- Candidates with 1-3 years of experience are welcome
Good to Have:
- Experience with workflow scheduling or orchestration tools
- Exposure to financial or market data
- Familiarity with Linux and shell scripting
What we offer:
- Work in a fast-paced and exciting HFT environment
- Own critical data infrastructure that directly impacts trading and research

- Competitive salary and a strong learning curve
- Catered breakfast and lunch.
