Job Description

WHILE THERE IS NO MONETARY COMPENSATION CURRENTLY, THIS POSITION WILL BE COMPENSATED WITH 1-3% EQUITY IN THE COMPANY ALONG WITH A COMPETITIVE SALARY IN THE FUTURE ONCE WE HAVE RAISED A SEED ROUND.

About Squirl:

Founded in early January 2020 by a team of three college sophomores, who had a passion for financial markets and technology, the early roots of Squirl started out as an extracurricular project to develop algorithmic trading strategies that outperformed the S&P 500. Overtime, as our shared experience and connections grew, we eventually transitioned into becoming an advanced quantitative trading firm with deep partnerships to asset management firms globally.

Over the past year, we have been working with BCM Partners to launch our first in-house systematic trading algorithm: a LONG-SHORT global macro strategy that executes on directional trading opportunities in the FX market. We are also testing additional strategies in the equities market that demonstrate significant alpha in backtests.

Throughout our journey, we have gained a more proficient understanding on how to best capitalize on the changing dynamics of financial markets, and our hands-on experiences have allowed our portfolios to excel in even the most volatile of times.

About the position:

We are looking for a part-time Software Engineer who will assist us with the design, development and installation of various software solutions. Your duties will include development, writing code, and documenting functionality.

You should be able to build high-quality, innovative and fully performing software in compliance with coding standards and technical design.

 

Position responsibilities include:

  • Organize full lifecycle software development

  • Prepare specifications and determine operational feasibility

  • Write well designed, testable, efficient code

  • Prepare software verification plans and quality assurance procedures

  • Organize documenting and maintenance of software functionality

  • Integrate software components into a fully functional software system

  • Evaluate and deploy software tools, processes and metrics

  • Provide support and consulting on software systems usage

  • Ensure compliance with project plans and industry standards

 

Position requirements:

  • 2+ years' experience of working in a Computer Software Engineer or Software Developer position

  • Significant experience with following test-driven development to create software in Python using core language features and the SciPy stack (pandas, numpy, sci-kit learn, etc.)

  • Excellent knowledge of REST APIs, timeseries databases, and UNIX system administration 

  • Demonstrated experience in documenting requirements and specifications

  • Close familiarity with software engineering tools, software development methodology and release processes

  • BS degree in Computer Science or Engineering

Perks of joining our team:

  • Flexibility to work whenever you want (apart from weekly team check-ins)
  • Exposure to working with a team that will be following the agile development methodology to rapidly iterate and grow
  • Ability to contribute to the design and development of a product that could be used by thousands of people
  • Joining an up-and-coming startup with plans to disrupt the financial services sector
  • Being surrounded by a team with over 15+ years of combined development experience and 30+ years of trading experience
  • Mentorship to grow as a software engineer and as a stock/option trader
  • Potential to grow within our company through further projects
