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 at WorldQuant research, design, code, test and deploy firmwide platforms and tooling while working collaboratively with researchers and portfolio managers. Our environment is relaxed yet intellectually driven. We seek people who think in code and are motivated by being around like-minded people.

The Role: Join a software engineering team at the forefront of agentic AI and quantitative finance, focused on building reliable, scalable systems that transform how complex software and research workflows are developed, automated, and maintained. This team develops AI-enabled platforms, intelligent workflows, and engineering systems that apply emerging AI capabilities to real-world quantitative investment problems. You will work closely with engineers, quantitative researchers, and platform teams to build AI-first products that solve meaningful real-world investment problems.

As a Senior AI Software Developer, you will shape technical architecture, establish engineering standards for agentic systems, and mentor others in applying modern AI-assisted development practices effectively.

 
What You’ll bring:
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong record of designing and delivering production-grade systems.
  • Hands-on experience building or deploying LLM-powered applications, AI agents, multi-agent workflows, tool-using systems, retrieval-augmented generation, or AI-enabled developer platforms.
  • Ability to translate ambiguous business, research, or engineering workflows into robust, measurable, AI-first solutions.
  • Experience building production-grade systems using AI-assisted development methods.
  • Strong understanding of system design, software architecture, testing, deployment, and operational reliability.
  • Excellent communication skills in English.
  • Mature, thoughtful attitude with the ability to operate in a collaborative, team-oriented culture.
  • A strong delivery mind-set, drive to get things done.
