ABOUT CFM

Founded in 1991, we are a global quantitative and systematic asset management firm applying a scientific approach to finance to develop alternative investment strategies that

create value for our clients.

We value innovation, dedication, collaboration, and the ability to make an impact. Together, we create a stimulating environment for talented and passionate experts in research, technology, and business to explore new ideas and challenge existing assumptions.

YOUR ROLE

The Trading Core & Model Technology team builds and maintains the core software infrastructure that powers systematic execution strategies, which consists of:

• C++ applications managing trading automatons and feed handlers.
• Python data pipelines generating referential data for the automatons and execution cost reports.
• A machine learning pipeline used for execution strategies.

CFM is looking for an experienced and talented Quantitative Developer to maintain these real-time C++ applications, and deliver enhancements tailored to the needs of the execution research team.

We are looking for a senior hands-on contributor who wants to stay close to implementation, solve hard problems directly, and operate with rigor and high standards. The role also calls for someone able to use AI in a sophisticated way to accelerate development and improve the quality and breadth of delivery.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Quantitative Developer, you will be responsible for:

• Developing and maintaining these real-time C++ applications: new features, optimizations, fixing bugs and providing level 2 support.
• Working closely with researchers to actively identify their pain points and requests, addressing them through high-quality solutions, communicating with them efficiently and managing their expectations.

YOUR SKILLS

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Expertise in the development of real-time, low latency, C++ market data systems and/or algorithmic trading automatons.
• A minimum of three years of experience in such a role is required but candidates with significantly more experience will be considered with great interest.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
• Adaptable and rigorous, capable of working in a rapidly evolving environment.
• Proficiency in both French and English.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES STATEMENT

We are continuously striving to be an equal opportunity employer, and we prohibit any discrimination based on sex, disability, origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, race, or religion. We believe that our diversity, breadth of experience, and multiple points of view are among the leading factors in our success.
