  2. Market Microstructure Expertise:Domain expert in the market microstructure of cash equities. Knowledge of liquid futures market structure is a bonus.
  3. Development Skills:Significant hands-on development experience in event-driven, real-time trading processes. Proficiency in C++ is preferred. If using Java, must demonstrate techniques that maximize runtime performance; proficiency with techniques that cover best-in-class software-based latency; experience with FPGA is a plus but not required.
  4. Trade & Market Data:Reasonable amount of experience with understanding and coding trade and market data.
  5. Leadership:Experience as a hands-on development lead, mentoring and guiding junior developers.
  6. Education:Bachelor's or Master's degree in CS, Electrical & Electronic Eng, Biochem, applied math or statistics.
  7. Technical Skills:Strong programming skills in C++ or Java, with a focus on event-driven real-time trading processes.
  8. Analytical Skills:Excellent quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and develop actionable insights.
  9. Communication:Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  10. Problem-Solving:Proven ability to solve complex problems and think critically in high-pressure situations.
  11. Team Player:Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment, collaborating with cross-functional teams.

The estimated base salary range for this position is $160,000 to $250,000, which is specific to New York and may change in the future.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Science: Embracing the Next Frontier

Data science has undergone a staggering transformation in the past decade, evolving from a niche academic discipline into a linchpin of modern industry. Across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing—data scientists have become indispensable, leveraging statistical methods and machine learning to turn raw information into actionable insights. Yet as datasets grow ever larger and machine learning models become more computationally expensive, there are genuine questions about how far current methods can be pushed. Enter quantum computing, a nascent but promising technology grounded in the counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics. Often dismissed just a few years ago as purely experimental, quantum computing is quickly gaining traction as prototypes evolve into cloud-accessible machines. When paired with artificial intelligence—particularly in the realm of data science—the results could be game-changing. From faster model training and complex optimisation to entirely new forms of data analysis, quantum-enhanced AI stands poised to disrupt established practices and create new opportunities. In this article, we will: Explore how data science has reached its current limits in certain areas, and why classical hardware might no longer suffice. Provide an accessible overview of quantum computing concepts and how they differ from classical systems. Examine the potential of quantum-enhanced AI to solve key data science challenges, from data wrangling to advanced machine learning. Highlight real-world applications, emerging job roles, and the skills you need to thrive in this new landscape. Offer actionable steps for data professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving field. Whether you’re a practising data scientist, a student weighing up your future specialisations, or an executive curious about the next technological leap, read on. The quantum era may be closer than you think, and it promises to radically transform the very fabric of data science.
