Research Engineer - Evolve Group : Job Details

Research Engineer – Systematic Trading | Greenwich, CT

Tired of being one of thousands of engineers at a big tech company, shipping features that barely move the needle? This is different.

We're building the next generation of systematic trading platforms, mid-frequency strategies, lean team (~30 people), direct line to researchers and traders. You won't be a cog; you'll be the engineer everyone relies on.

Why this role is rare:

• Impact: Your code is the strategy's edge you'll see direct PnL impact.
• Access: Sit shoulder-to-shoulder with researchers and trading leads, shaping systems end-to-end.
• Ownership: No bureaucracy. You'll design, build, and deploy real-time infrastructure that powers trading.
• Flexibility: Hybrid setup (~3 days onsite in Greenwich) and open to candidates coming off non-competes.

What we're looking for:

• 3+ years of SWE experience (finance background ideal, but strong tech with research exposure is encouraged).
• Strong Python; bonus if you've worked with data-intensive or low-latency systems.
• Solid math background and ability to work at the research/trading interface.

If you're a high-calibre engineer ready to step into a role where every line of code matters, this is it. Opportunities like this don't stay open for long.
