We’re Quadrature, a technology company in the algo trading space. We use advanced machine learning on large amounts of data to predict trends in financial markets. More at https://quadrature.ai.

What makes us different:

- ~250 people, no traders — our systems trade autonomously.

- Single PnL.

- We don’t separate “quant researchers” from “developers” — everyone codes to a high level and has the opportunity to do research.

- Mission-driven: our climate foundation (https://www.qc.foundation/) has made significant divestment commitments over recent years. For many of us, it's why we're here.

We’re hiring Quant Developers — a generalist team of engineers and researchers who own both the research pipeline and software infrastructure across the entire business. Stack is Rust, Python and C++. We want sharp, collaborative people with no big egos.

Youth Inc. is a venture-backed commerce and media company focused on the youth and high school sports market.

We are looking for a Head of Engineering. This is the most senior technical role in the company, reporting directly to the CEO. You will own the architecture, execution, and evolution of our proprietary commerce platform while building and leading a small, high-impact engineering team.

This is not a role where you manage engineers and stay out of the code. It is not a role where you write code and stay out of the business.

What We Are Looking For

1. Experience at a growth-stage company. This is the most important qualifier. You have built and scaled systems as a company grew around you.

2. Strong communication skills. Given our organizational structure, you report directly to the CEO, join partner calls, and work laterally with our GM of Commerce. A brilliant engineer who cannot communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders will not succeed in this role.

3. Full-stack technical depth.

4. 8+ years of engineering experience with meaningful time leading teams.

5. E-commerce or marketplace experience is a strong plus.

6. Elixir or Phoenix experience is a plus, not a requirement. We will not eliminate a great candidate over language experience.

Location: Chicago, Nashville, or Boston preferred. Open to remote for the right candidate.

This is a role for someone who wants to build something that matters in a market that is ready for it. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
