The listing, marked up
Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.
G-Research is a leading quant finance company. Big compute farm, interesting problems.
My team is hiring senior engineers to work on our (actually world class) DAG scheduling infra for distributing research and production workloads across the compute farm. What we do is roughly:
* maintain and improve the SDKs for that scheduler in Python, F#, and C#
* add interesting new features to the scheduler itself
* maintain and improve a web backend and UI for quants and engineers to monitor their jobs, increasingly with high availability requirements
* translate bidirectionally at the business level between low-level infra providers and quant/ML researchers
Some functional experience preferred, because our core product is in F#. Lots of dealing with very smart researchers and engineers, with the kind of fun problems arising when you run large ML workloads at scale.
