Functional Software Engineer

About the Role

As a Functional Software Engineer within the Research & Quant Foundations (RQF) group, you’ll sit at the core of the platform, building systems that enable quant researchers to move faster across a vast compute estate. The focus is on abstracting complexity, improving developer experience, and ensuring large-scale research workloads run smoothly and reliably.

What You'll Do

• A core scheduling platform written in F#, responsible for distributing very large workloads across massive compute farms.
• Python and .NET SDKs that form the primary day-to-day interface used by researchers.
• A TypeScript/React UI backed by an F# ASP.NET service, Postgres, and Kubernetes, providing real-time visibility into workload execution.
• Tooling and frameworks that enable researchers to build and deploy research platforms and express computations over streaming data.
• Foundational systems designed for performance, safety, expressiveness, and long-term maintainability.

Who You Are

• Strong interest and experience in functional programming.
• 4+ years of software engineering experience in high-bar environments.
• Excellent programming ability with a deep focus on code quality and design.
• Experience with one or more of: F#, Haskell, Rust, Lisp, Erlang, OCaml, Caml, or similar.
• Professional Python experience beyond scripting or notebooks.
• An engineer who genuinely cares about developer experience.

Bonus Points

• Exposure to compiler work or language tooling is a strong plus.
• MSc or PhD in Computer Science (or equivalent depth of technical background) is highly desirable.

Compensation

This team hires exceptionally well and is scaling deliberately, with three new hires planned.
