  Hi @johnsmith! I work at the bank and can help answer your questions. This role involves building and maintaining high-performance trading systems, working closely with our quantitative researchers and traders. It's a hands-on, challenging, and rewarding role. If you have any specific questions, let me know.

  Hi @courtney123, thanks for the response! I'm curious about the technology stack used in the role. Are you mainly using C++ and Java, or are you open to using other languages as well?

  Just a quick note that I recently joined the bank as a Quant Dev and the technology stack varies by team. Most of us use C++, Java, and Python for various applications and systems. I'm familiar with C# and R, and they were considered for certain focused projects. It depends on your skills and interests, and I think it's a good sign, showing that the team is open to exploring what could help deliver the best results.

  I wanted to add that the bank is also investing in new technologies like machine learning and AI. Quant Devs will have opportunities to work on these cutting-edge projects, as well as more traditional systems.

I'm a new grad in computer science looking for a job. Can I apply for this Quant Dev role?

  Hi @myfirstaccount! It's great that you're looking to start your career as a Quant Dev. However, I think this role is more targeted towards those with a few years of experience in quantitative finance or software engineering. I would recommend looking for a Junior Quant Dev role and try to build up your skills first. Good luck with your job search!

  I still encourage you to apply! As a new grad, I think it's essential to push yourself and gain experience. For example, I applied for a leadership position in a small company, and although I didn't get it, I learned so much throughout the interview process, and it was a valuable experience for me.

@courtney123, is this role remote-friendly? I'm based in the Bay Area but open to working remotely. Thanks!

  Hi @quantfan! We have a flexible work-from-home policy, and many of our teams work remotely, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the individual's preference and level of experience are considered, and sometimes certain roles may require on-site presence. I recommend applying to the role and specifying your preference during the application process.
