Graviton Research Capital
About this role
Graviton Research Capital is a Gurugram quantitative trading firm that analyses terabytes of market data to find pricing anomalies. This role is the Python engineering behind that research: writing efficient scripts for data analysis and automation, building the visualisations traders and researchers actually make decisions from, and maintaining the alerting tools that watch data workflows and systems. You are expected to apply real computer science rather than gluing scripts together, since the posting asks for solid data structures, algorithms and object oriented design, and continuous optimisation of data processing pipelines for scale and performance. The stack is Python with SQL for querying, plotting libraries such as Matplotlib, Seaborn or Plotly, and monitoring and alerting tooling. It suits an engineer two to five years in who wants finance domain exposure without moving into a pure quant research seat.
Who this is for
What the posting asks for: 2 to 5 years as a Software Engineer or Python Developer, strong Python with the ability to pick up new frameworks and libraries quickly, hands on SQL for querying and data manipulation, experience with data visualisation and plotting tools such as Matplotlib, Seaborn or Plotly, familiarity with alerting and monitoring tools, and a solid grounding in data structures, algorithms and object oriented programming. Graviton also asks for strong analytical thinking and attention to detail.
The real day to day: designing and developing efficient Python scripts for data analysis and automation, building accurate data visualisations that support decision making, implementing and maintaining alerting tools that monitor data workflows and systems, working with other teams to gather requirements, and continuously optimising data processing pipelines for scalability and performance.
Location and setup: Gurugram, Haryana, on site. Graviton describes a cubicle free office and a deliberately non hierarchical culture. Published benefits are competitive compensation, 6 weeks of paid vacation, catered breakfast and lunch, a fully stocked kitchen, monthly after work parties and an international team outing.
Honest fit guidance: this is a data and tooling engineering role inside a trading firm, not a quant researcher or trader seat, so do not apply expecting to build alpha models. What you get instead is a high signal engineering environment, exposure to financial market data at scale, and a bar set by a firm that says openly it insists on hiring the very best. Graviton has three separate openings on today's board (this one, HPC Engineer at 2 to 3 years, and Application Reliability Engineer at up to 2 years), all in Gurugram and all distinct teams, so compare the three before applying rather than sending the same application to each. The posting does not publish an interview process.
