Role Overview As the Quantitative Research Team Lead, you will head a team of quants and researchers dedicated to developing trading strategies, improving alpha models, and optimizing execution. This role is both hands-on research and strategic leadership: you will drive model development, oversee research pipelines, and mentor team members while shaping Apexver’s research roadmap. You will partner with traders, engineers, and data scientists to push the boundaries of what’s possible in high-frequency and systematic trading. Key Responsibilities • Leadership & Strategy ◦ Lead, mentor, and grow a team of quantitative researchers. ◦ Define research priorities, align with trading and technology strategy, and ensure results deliver measurable alpha. ◦ Instill best practices for model development, testing, and deployment. • Research & Innovation ◦ Develop and refine alpha models, statistical arbitrage signals, and systematic trading strategies. ◦ Explore large-scale datasets to identify patterns, anomalies, and predictive signals. ◦ Partner with engineers to translate research into robust, production-ready systems. • Collaboration & Execution ◦ Work closely with traders and risk managers to integrate models into execution pipelines. ◦ Collaborate with infrastructure teams to optimize simulation environments, backtesting frameworks, and data feeds. ◦ Balance short-term opportunities with long-term research initiatives. Qualifications Required: • 7+ years of experience in quantitative research / systematic trading, with at least 2+ years in a leadership capacity. • Advanced degree (PhD strongly preferred, MSc acceptable) in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Statistics, or related quantitative discipline. • Deep experience with time-series analysis, probability, statistics, and machine learning methods. • Strong programming skills in Python (for research) and familiarity with C++ (for production alignment). • Proven track record of delivering profitable trading strate

Role Overview As a Senior Software Engineer , you will take leadership in designing, building, and scaling high-performance trading systems. You will be driving architectural decisions, mentoring others, and ensuring the reliability, latency, and correctness of our production systems. Your role will bridge between quant research, trading operations, and engineering excellence. Key Responsibilities Lead design, development, and ownership of large, complex C++ systems: engines for order execution, market data ingestion, risk, connectivity, and downstream services. Architect systems for low latency, high throughput, fault tolerance, and operational resilience. Identify performance bottlenecks across software/hardware layers; lead initiatives to reduce latency, increase capacity, and improve stability. Mentor and lead other engineers through code reviews, pairing, and driving best practices in code structure, testing, and performance. Liaise closely with quant researchers and traders: influence product and strategy design, ensuring designs satisfy functional, non-functional, and latency constraints. Drive infrastructure and tooling improvements: monitoring, observability, deployment pipelines, build systems, profiling frameworks, and latency measurement tools. Stay up to date with new technologies and architectures (e.g. kernel bypass, RDMA, NUMA, CPU/GPU/FPGAs) and evaluate them for potential adoption. Qualifications Required 5+ years (often 7+) of experience building production C++ systems, ideally in latency-sensitive or real-time environments. Deep expertise in modern C++ (C++17/20/23), templates, metaprogramming, memory management, and allocation strategies. Strong understanding of concurrency: multi-threading, lock-free programming, synchronization, hardware caches, and memory fences. Proven track record in optimizing performance (latency, throughput); experience profiling and benchmarking at a low level. Experience with network programming: TCP/UDP, protocol desi
