Requirements & Eligibility

• The technical fluency to engage credibly with engineers and researchers on architecture, trade-offs, and delivery risk
• A strong track record of shipping complex projects on time by aligning multiple teams and stakeholders
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the judgment to know what to escalate and when

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end delivery of technical projects spanning trading platforms, execution infrastructure, and quant research tooling — from scoping through launch
• Partner with engineers, quantitative researchers, and traders to translate ambitious goals into clear plans, milestones, and measurable outcomes
• Manage cross-team dependencies, surface risks early, and keep initiatives on track in a fast-moving, low-latency environment
• Establish and improve project management practices — planning, prioritization, status reporting, and post-mortems — that fit an engineering-driven culture
• Communicate progress, trade-offs, and decisions clearly to both technical and business stakeholders
