What’s the difference between an Algorithm Engineer and an Algorithm Developer?
At a high level, Algorithm Engineers are responsible for making the Algo team’s research tools and trading platform powerful, flexible, fast, and easy to use. In order to do this, AEs and SWEs work closely with Algo Developers to understand their needs.

Algorithm Developers build and maintain the models that drive our trading, working hand in hand with Algo Engineers to help test and deploy their strategies. Algorithm Developers rely on a mix of quantitative (math, stats, data analysis) and technical (C++/Python programming) skills in researching, backtesting, and monitoring new strategies.
