Senior Quant Developer (Python)

Role : Senior Quantitative Developer (Python)

Location : Dubai

Industry : Hedge Funds

Python. Agentic coding tools. Large scale data workflows. Cross asset research platform.

Overview:

3 years in this seat should leave you with a very different CV from the one you walk in with.

A global investment manager is hiring a Senior Quantitative Developer in Dubai, where senior quant talent is still thin on the ground. You will join a close knit global team of cross asset Quant Developers and Researchers, shaping the research platform in a fast evolving environment.

Here is how career trajectory could play out:

Year 1

• You learn the platform, earn the researchers' trust and fix the things that have annoyed them for ages. You become the person they call first when data looks wrong.

Year 2

• You lead. Engineering standards, review culture, testing practices and how the team uses agentic coding tools all pass through you.

Year 3

• You have taken strategies from research into production repeatedly, across several asset classes, and you speak both languages, the researcher's and the engineer's. That opens further doors to running a research platform team or moving closer to the research itself.

Responsibilities:

• Help Quant Researchers bring trading strategies into production.

• Provide technical leadership and help raise engineering standards across the team.

• Improve software engineering practices across research workflows, including adopting agentic coding tools effectively.

• Automate and streamline large scale data preparation and cleansing.

• Build, enhance and support quantitative research tools.

• Keep evolving the platform as the business changes.

Relocation and visas covered.
