Job summary

Farther is building institutional-grade portfolio management and order management infrastructure. We’re looking for a Quant Portfolio Developer who can own the analytics layer: account performance, cost basis, risk modeling, and the quantitative foundation that makes sophisticated execution possible.

You’ll work closely with a small team of trading engineers and specialist contractors to build systems that didn't exist before.

Qualifications

• 3–10 years in portfolio performance, analytics, or construction.
• Deep familiarity with the trade lifecycle: holdings, transactions, cost basis, and reconciliation.
• Multi-asset class experience: equities, fixed income, munis, alternatives, and options.
• Fixed income fundamentals: duration, key-rate duration, spread risk, carry/roll, and laddered or optimized bond construction.
• Derivatives-aware portfolio construction: delta-based exposures, overlays, and options-related risk measures.
• Strong Python — comfortable in Jupyter-centric research workflows for exploratory analysis, back-testing, and rapid prototyping.

Responsibilities

• Build optimized Python analytics for portfolio measurement at scale — supporting multi-asset books across tens to hundreds of billions in AUM
• Own cost basis, holdings, and transaction data integrity — ingesting custodian data and calculating portfolio returns accurately
• Model portfolio risk across asset classes, including factor, duration, curve, spread, convexity, beta, and options risk exposures
• Support portfolio construction logic and multi-asset allocation workflows
• Contribute to execution algorithm development — including market impact measurement and VWAP-style execution analytics
