About the role

Bright Vision Technologies is a technology consulting and software development company delivering cloud, AI, data, and enterprise solutions across the United States. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established and well-respected organization offering tremendous career growth potential.

We are seeking an experienced Quantitative Developer to build low-latency, high-reliability trading, risk, and analytics systems for fintech applications. In this role you will partner closely with quants and traders to translate mathematical models into production-quality software that meets strict performance, accuracy, and operational requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement low-latency trading, pricing, and risk systems in C++, Java, or Python
  • Translate quantitative models from prototypes (often in Python or MATLAB) into production-quality implementations
  • Build robust market data ingestion and normalization pipelines for high-volume tick data
  • Develop pricing libraries for derivatives and structured products, with rigorous testing against analytical benchmarks
  • Implement risk engines, P&L attribution systems, scenario analysis tools, and stress-testing capabilities used by traders, risk managers, and quants to make informed decisions under uncertain market conditions
  • Profile and optimize critical-path code for latency and throughput, applying systematic measurement, targeted improvements, and data-driven validation to deliver quantifiable gains in throughput, latency, or resource efficiency
  • Build comprehensive backtesting and simulation infrastructure that lets researchers evaluate strategies against historical data and synthetic scenarios with reproducible, audit-friendly results
  • Collaborate closely with quants, traders, and risk officers to refine models and tooling
  • Implement regulatory and compliance reporting workflows where applicable, ensuring outputs meet jurisdictional requirements, are auditable end-to-end, and can be reproduced reliably for retrospective analysis
  • Ensure full observability of trading systems with appropriate logging, metrics, and audit trails
  • Lead incident response for trading-critical issues with calm and rigor
  • Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering culture in the team

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative discipline
  • Six or more years of software engineering experience, with significant time in fintech
  • Strong programming skills in C++, Java, or Python (preferably more than one)
  • Solid grounding in financial markets, instruments, and basic quantitative methods
  • Hands-on experience building low-latency, high-throughput systems
  • Experience with market data systems and FIX protocol implementations
  • Strong understanding of risk and P&L attribution
  • Experience with high-performance computing patterns and concurrency
  • Excellent debugging, profiling, and performance-tuning skills
  • Strong communication and documentation skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with derivatives pricing libraries (QuantLib)
  • Familiarity with kdb+/q or similar columnar tick databases
  • Exposure to GPU-accelerated pricing or risk computation
  • Experience with cloud-native fintech architectures
  • Advanced degree in a quantitative discipline
