    Description
    The Role

    As a Quant Developer at AHL you will be working hand-in-hand with our Quant Researchers. Your challenges will be varied, and will involve implementing new trading strategies, building new research frameworks and quant libraries, prototyping new data feeds, development of new portfolio construction techniques or building risk analysis tools.

    The Team

    Quant Developers at AHL are all part of our broader technology team, members of a group of over sixty individuals representing eighteen nationalities. We have varied backgrounds including Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering - even Classics - but what unifies us is a passion for technology and writing high-quality code.

    Our developers are organised into small cross-functional teams, with our engineering roles broadly of two kinds: Quant Platform Developers" otherwise known as our Core Techs", and Quant Developers" which we often refer to as Sector Techs". We use the term Sector Tech" because some of our teams are aligned with a particular asset class or market sector. People often rotate teams in order to learn more about our system, as well as find the position that best matches their interests.

    Our Technology

    Our systems are almost all running on Linux and most of our code is in Python, with the full scientific stack: numpy, scipy, pandas, scikit-learn to name a few of the libraries we use extensively. We implement the systems that require the highest data throughput in Java. For storage, we rely heavily on MongoDB and Oracle.

    We use Airflow for workflow management, Kafka for data pipelines, Bitbucket for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, ELK for log shipping and monitoring, Docker for containerisation, OpenStack for our private cloud, Ansible for architecture automation, and HipChat for internal communication. But our technology list is never static: we constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.

    Working Here

    AHL has a small company, no-attitude feel. It is flat structured, open, transparent and collaborative, and you will have plenty of opportunity to grow and have enormous impact on what we do. We are actively engaged with the broader technology community.
    • We host and sponsor London's PyData and Machine Learning Meetups
    • We open-source some of our technology. See
    • We regularly talk at leading industry conferences, and tweet about relevant technology and how we're using it. See @ManQuantTech
    We're fortunate enough to have a fantastic open-plan office overlooking the River Thames, and continually strive to make our environment a great place in which to work. We believe that agile working allows us to deliver the best business outcomes for our clients and investors as well as having a positive impact on life / work balance and the wellbeing of our staff. We are simultaneously committed to "levelling the playing field" and believe that agile working promotes inclusivity across teams, regions and business units.
    • We organise regular social events, everything from photography through climbing, karting, wine tasting and monthly team lunches
    • We have annual away days and off-sites for the whole team
    • As well as PC's and Macs, in our office you'll also find numerous pieces of cool tech such as light cubes and 3D printers, guitars, ping-pong and table-football, and a piano
    We offer competitive compensation, a generous holiday allowance, various health and other flexible benefits. We are also committed to continuous learning and development via coaching, mentoring, regular conference attendance and sponsoring academic and professional qualifications.
