Technology drives our business — it's our main advantage — and software engineers play a pivotal role. Software engineers at Two Sigma focus on analysis, experimentation, design, and elegant implementation. They build the scalable tools the organization needs to explore data's possibilities and act on our findings – to mine the past and attempt to predict the future. As a Two Sigma engineer, you'll champion the rigorous, collaborative, scientific approach that allows us to meet business needs. You'll join a forward-looking, future-reaching organization to build software that will scale with the company. You'll have opportunities to learn from others and share your expertise. We attract engineers with a real passion for data. We seek individuals who want to build for today and invent for tomorrow. We value curiosity and insight, balanced with pragmatism and practicality.

Ensuring the reliability of “mission critical” products and systems vital to Two Sigma, such as our main trading system. Using a suite of open source and proprietary tools to build the environments that test and deploy our quantitative strategies, also known as models. Building and maintaining the low-latency, high-performance infrastructure and systems responsible for executing trades. Building and scaling the infrastructure used to ingest data from 10,000+ sources daily.

Strong analytical, organizational, and interpersonal skills. A passion of building quality software. We are open-minded in our search for critical thinkers who are passionate about technology.
