Lead Data Developer For Quant Fund - CA

We're working closely with a pioneering quantitative investment firm located in Southern California that has been in business for over twenty years. They are a small company (around 30 employees) that has worked hard to foster a collaborative, team-oriented work culture with a relatively flat hierarchy. Virtually everyone at the firm is involved in software development on a daily basis, as a sophisticated technological infrastructure is vital to the execution of their investment strategies.

We've had some great success working with them lately, and in light of that they're now asking us to help them locate an extraordinary technologist to take the lead in managing and mining the enormous financial data sets they use to research and develop new trading strategies. Ideal candidates will have a strong track-record of innovative work with large data sets as well as experience leading teams in these types of efforts. This is a mission-critical role for them, and that is reflected in the aggressive compensation they're prepared to offer for the right candidate.
