- **Company:** WorldQuant
- **Location:** Delhi, India
- **Posted:** 2026-08-11
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-08
- **Apply:** https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/worldquant/jobs/4704097006

## Job description

WorldQuant develops and deploys systematic financial strategies across a broad range of asset classes and global markets. We seek to produce high-quality predictive signals (alphas) through our proprietary research platform to employ financial strategies focused on market inefficiencies. Our teams work collaboratively to drive the production of alphas and financial strategies – the foundation of a balanced, global investment platform.

WorldQuant is built on a culture that pairs academic sensibility with accountability for results. Employees are encouraged to think openly about problems, balancing intellectualism and practicality. Excellent ideas come from anyone, anywhere. Employees are encouraged to challenge conventional thinking and possess an attitude of continuous improvement.

Our goal is to hire the best and the brightest. We value intellectual horsepower first and foremost, and people who demonstrate an outstanding talent. There is no roadmap to future success, so we need people who can help us build it.

Technologists on this team research, design, code, test, and deploy solutions that enable the firm’s front-office quant teams to make effective use of the our framework. Our environment is relaxed yet intellectually driven, and we seek people who think in code, enjoy solving complex engineering problems, and are motivated by working closely with like-minded researchers, engineers, and business stakeholders. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, solution delivery, and quant research enablement. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with researchers, embedded technology teams, and platform stakeholders to build scalable tools, APIs, services, and workflows that improve adoption and support the continued evolution of the firm’s ecosystem. We are looking for a hands-on technologist who enjoys building robust systems, working closely with users, and solving intellectually challenging problems. The ideal candidate is practical, curious, collaborative, and motivated by delivering tools and platforms that help researchers and investment professionals work more effectively.

## What You’ll Do

- Participate in the design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance of solutions
- Build and maintain APIs, services, tools, and platform components that enable seamless integration with front-office quant workflows.
- Interface with users of the platform to understand their use cases and help them make effective use of available tools and services.
- Work closely with researchers and technology teams to translate business and research needs into practical engineering solutions.
- Contribute to scalable platform capabilities, including workflow tooling, metadata management, distributed storage, and integration services.
- Research best practices and propose feature specifications and enhancements for the platform roadmap.
- Develop and maintain tools that complement the core platform offering and improve usability, adoption, and operational efficiency.
- Ensure solutions are reliable, secure, scalable, and aligned with firmwide engineering standards.
- Produce clear documentation, user guides, and technical materials to support adoption and long-term maintainability.
- Collaborate with global teams in an open, intellectually curious, and delivery-focused environment.

## What You’ll Bring

- University degree, preferably in Computer Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
- At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience.
- Strong English communication skills and experience working in a global environment.
- Expertise in software lifecycle management methodologies and tools, including Git and JIRA.
- Strong programming expertise in at least one of the following: Python, Go, C, or C++.
- Strong working knowledge of UNIX/Linux.
- Experience designing, developing, testing, and supporting production-quality software systems.
- Ability to work directly with technical and non-technical users to understand requirements and deliver effective solutions.
- Knowledge of the design and development of large-scale distributed systems, distributed storage platforms, workflow platforms, or data-intensive systems.
- Experience building APIs, backend services, platform tooling, or developer enablement solutions.
- Familiarity with quant research workflows, investment technology platforms, data pipelines, or front-office systems.
- Exposure to CI/CD, observability, containerization, orchestration, or cloud-native development practices.
- Interest in open architecture, graph-based frameworks, metadata-driven systems, and extensible platform design.
