Quantitative Developer | Two Streams: Execution Infrastructure and Low-Latency Crypto | NYC or London | $170k to $250k base + performance bonus

Albert Bow is partnering with a top-tier systematic trading group to hire across 23 seats split between two streams. Roles are based in New York or London with an office-first rhythm a few days per week to work closely with researchers and shared infrastructure. Hybrid is available, and remote is reserved for exceptional engineers with a proven record of shipping at scale. We are running a selective, quality-first process rather than speed hiring.


Stream 1. Execution Infrastructure Quant Dev:

  • Own the backtesting engine, data ingest, and the deployment path that pushes research to production.
  • Build scalable backtests, benchmarking, artefact management, and release tooling on AWS.
  • Improve execution quality end to end: slippage analysis, TCA, routing logic, and production observability.
  • Use Python as glue with C++ or Rust where latency and throughput matter.


Stream 2. Low-Latency Crypto Quant Dev:

  • Write and tune exchange connectors across major CEXs using REST, WebSocket, and FIX.
  • Ship market data pipelines, order routing, and strategy integration for 24/7 markets.
  • Containerised deploys, Linux performance work, real-time profiling, and fault-tolerant recovery.
  • Core in Rust or C++ with production Python for research and operations.


What we are screening for:

  • Fluency in C++ or Rust plus practical Python.
  • Clear evidence you have shipped infrastructure that moved PnL.
  • Comfort with Kafka, kdb+ or ClickHouse, AWS, and market microstructure.
  • 1 to 5 years building trading systems or adjacent high-throughput systems.
  • Strong reasoning about data structures, algorithms, and throughput versus latency trade-offs.
  • Ownership mindset and clear communication with quants and senior engineers.


What you will get:

  • Direct ownership in production with tight feedback from researchers and senior engineers.
  • Real impact on execution quality, not slideware.
  • $170k to $250k base plus performance bonus.
  • New York or London. In-office preferred. Hybrid or remote considered for stand-out profiles.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
