Graviton Research Capital
About this role
Graviton is a privately funded quantitative trading firm that researches financial markets across many asset classes and venues, analysing terabytes of data to find pricing anomalies. This Software Developer, Quant Tools role builds the internal tooling that its quant researchers rely on: software to run simulations, scalable post trade systems that analyse statistics across every production strategy, and central tools for market data across exchanges. You write in both C++ and Python, producing scripts for risk attribution and performance breakdowns. It is based in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The stated bar is 3+ years, and Graviton hires from strong analytical backgrounds and top ranked universities. Good fit for a developer who enjoys building tools that other technical people depend on, likes the low level and data heavy side of engineering, and wants exposure to quantitative trading without necessarily being a quant.
