Principal Consultant (Software Engineering) - Search Technology

Location: Onsite NYC

Level: Mid to Senior (3+ years experience)

We're working with a top-tier investment firm that’s building cutting-edge risk infrastructure at scale, and they’re looking for a Quantitative Developer to join the team.

This is a great role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to work closely with the business (traders, PMs, risk managers) to deliver real-time analytics and tools that genuinely move the needle.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Building high-performance systems to calculate risk across complex asset classes
• Writing clean, efficient code in Python or C#
• Collaborating with front-office and risk teams to understand what they need — and deliver it
• Designing systems that are scalable, low-latency, and easy to maintain

What You’ll Bring:

• 3+ years of hands-on development experience (ideally in a trading or risk environment)
• Strong understanding of fixed income or derivative products
• Solid experience with modern software development practices (testing, version control, CI/CD)
• A sharp analytical mind — you’re the kind of person who digs into problems until they’re solved
• Excellent communication skills — technical, but business-aware

Bonus Points for:

• Familiarity with tools like MSCI RiskMetrics
• Experience working on the buy-side or directly with risk managers
• Exposure to cloud platforms (especially AWS) and containerization (e.g., Kubernetes)

This is a high-impact role with visibility across the business. If you're someone who enjoys solving hard problems and building tools that really get used, we'd love to connect.
