Junior Software Engineer / Quantitative Developer / Quantitative Analyst (C#/.NET) — Systematic Hedge Fund
n
Join a systematic hedge fund that combines quantitative research, machine learning and sophisticated software engineering to trade global FX and futures markets.
n
For more than a decade, we've built high-speed, real-time autonomous trading systems, and our small team gives talented developers the opportunity to work on technically demanding, meaningful problems from day one.
n
About the Role
n
We're looking for a Junior Software Engineer with 1–2 years of professional development experience to join our technology team. The role begins with a strong software-engineering focus, working alongside experienced software engineers, quantitative developers and quantitative researchers on systems designed for rigour, transparency and automation — with the direction it takes from there shaped by your interests and capability (see Career Development below).
n
You'll gain broad exposure to the systems, data and research processes behind systematic trading, while progressively taking ownership of more complex work.
n
You will:
n
n
Develop and maintain C#/.NET applications, with exposure to SQL, NoSQL, AWS, Grafana, Python and MATLAB.
n
Build and maintain the systems that collect, process and distribute real-time market and trading data.
n
Contribute to the implementation, testing, monitoring and production support of trading models and infrastructure.
n
Collaborate with developers and quantitative researchers to translate requirements into robust technical solutions.
n
Participate in code reviews,



automated testing and the continuous improvement of production systems.
n
n
As you develop, you may progress toward one or more of:
n
n
Software engineering — owning increasingly important components of our trading, data and infrastructure platforms.
n
Quantitative development — building research platforms, model infrastructure, data pipelines and back-testing tools.
n
Quantitative analysis — analysing market and trading data, testing hypotheses and contributing to research and strategy.
n
n
Progression is based on capability, contribution and interest, rather than a fixed timeframe.
n
About You
n
We welcome applicants from strong software-engineering or quantitative STEM backgrounds. You may be:
n
n
A software engineer or computer science graduate who wants to apply strong development skills in systematic trading and build quantitative expertise over time; or
n
A mathematics, physics, engineering or other STEM graduate with strong computing skills who wants to build production systems while developing toward quantitative development or analysis.
n
n
You'll have:
n
n
1–2 years of professional software-development experience, or a strong undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or a related STEM discipline, with excellent computing skills.
n
Experience with C#/.NET preferred; strong Java,



C++ or other object-oriented programming experience will also be considered.
n
A sound understanding of fundamental software-engineering concepts.
n
Experience working with databases and writing SQL.
n
Strong attention to detail and a commitment to writing reliable, maintainable code.
n
Curiosity and a desire to understand why systems behave as they do, not simply make them work.
n
n
Nice to have:
n
n
Experience with any of the following is advantageous but not essential: Unix/Linux, Python, AWS, networking or distributed systems, time-series data, data engineering or data visualisation, or financial markets, trading systems, quantitative research or back-testing.
n
n
You don't need previous finance or trading experience. We care most about strong technical fundamentals, intellectual curiosity, analytical ability and the drive to learn.
n
Full working rights in Australia required. Sponsorship is not available.
n
Why Join Us?
n
Technology is central to the business here. You'll get structured 1-on-1 time with senior engineers and researchers — not just shadowing, but mentoring built into how we work — plus exposure to real-time, high-performance systems and live global FX and futures markets that most junior roles won't offer.
n
You'll also get:
n
n
A competitive salary, plus a performance-based bonus that can meaningfully add to your total compensation.
n
A rapid interview process: a technical screen, followed by a team conversation.
n
n
If you want to develop quickly, build challenging production technology and establish strong foundations in systematic trading and quantitative finance, we'd love to hear from you.
