• Building the underlying infrastructure that virtually every other engineering team at Two Sigma uses, such as our distributed storage and public and private cloud environments.
• Ensuring the reliability of “mission critical” products and systems vital to Two Sigma, such as our main trading system.
• Using a suite of open source and proprietary tools to build the environments that test and deploy our quantitative strategies, also known as models.
• Building and maintaining the low-latency, high-performance infrastructure and systems responsible for executing trades.
• Building and scaling the infrastructure used to ingest data from 10,000+ sources daily.
• Partnering with our Corporate teams to develop tools, systems and products responsible for increasing productivity and efficiency across the organization.
