Software Engineer at Tekmerion Capital Management in New York

Firm Description: Tekmerion is a systematic macro hedge fund trading liquid assets across major global economies, combining the fundamental insights of a macro trader with the analytical rigor of a systematic investment manager. We operate in medium- to long-term horizons, using quantitatively generated signals derived from macroeconomic and market data. Our investment process is systematic, research-driven, and engineered for robustness, scalability, and reproducibility.

Role Overview:

We're looking to hire Software Engineers to build the core systems that power Tekmerion's research and daily investment infrastructure. This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure engineering, data engineering, and DevOps. You will work closely with macro analysts and data analysts to bring data pipelines and models to production, while also evolving our Python codebase of highly scalable services and AWS infrastructure.

We're looking for engineers who understand how to create powerful, efficient, and easy to use software products for our analysts, who are expert users of the systems we build. This role is directly responsible for the health of our investment process, and our small team affords Software Engineers large amounts of responsibility and code-ownership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain Tekmerion's Python codebase supporting research, data processing, signal generation, and trade generation
• Design, implement, and optimize data pipelines for economic and market datasets
• Collaborate with macro and data analysts to translate research ideas into robust, production-ready code
• Build and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, including compute, storage, orchestration, and monitoring
• Improve system reliability, performance, and observability across research and production environments
• Follow engineering best practices, including testing, documentation, and code review

Desired Qualifications:

• Exceptional programming skills
• Proficiency building highly scalable services or data-intensive applications, especially in Python
• Comfort working with statistic or time-series data
• Familiarity with data and numerical libraries (e.g., numpy, pandas, polars)
• Experience working with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS (e.g., ECS, S3, RDS), and terraform
• Understanding of user experience, API design, and user interface design, especially when targeting less technical users
• Experience building research platforms or backtesting systems
• Knowledge of distributed systems, workflow orchestration, or data engineering tools
• Knowledge of Typescript (covering some of our user interfaces) is a bonus

What we Offer:

• Opportunity to work at the core of a systematic macro investment process
• Code-ownership and the ability to architect large pieces of our software
• Collaborative, research-driven culture with close interaction between engineers and analysts

The base salary for this role is anticipated to be $150,000–$250,000, excluding potential bonuses, additional compensation, and benefits. Actual compensation will depend on various factors including skills, experience, and qualifications.
