AQR is a global investment management firm built at the intersection of financial theory and practical application. We strive to deliver superior, long-term results for our clients by looking past market noise to identify and isolate what matters most, and by developing ideas that stand up to rigorous testing. Our focus on practical insights and analysis has made us leaders in alternative and traditional strategies since 1998. At AQR, our employees share a common spirit of academic excellence, intellectual honesty and an unwavering commitment to seeking the truth. We’re determined to know what makes financial markets tick – and we’ll ask every question and challenge every assumption. We recognize and respect the power of collaboration, and we believe transparency and openness to new ideas leads to innovation. You will be a member of the Software Engineering department supporting the Portfolio Managers and Portfolio Implementation teams. We are seeking a strong and versatile developer to join our hard-working portfolio analytics engineering team. You will need to be able to work effectively on new development in multiple programming languages and tech stacks – with modern services-oriented architectures written in Python and Java running in containers on AWS, as well as support legacy systems. You will work closely with our portfolio managers in the business to answer questions, explain results, perform ad-hoc analysis, and plan future enhancements to our systems. Much of this work will be under time pressure, so you will need to be able to make pragmatic decisions about prioritization of urgent versus future work and quick versus permanent solutions. Our business partners speak the language of portfolio management, so you will need to have a genuine interest in understanding financial instruments and portfolio construction/optimization. Half of our team is in India and our US team operates partially remotely, so you will need to be self-motivated, independent, and able to work productively with remote colleagues. This is an exciting position in which hard work and results are recognized and rapid advancement is possible, but we also genuinely have a strong culture of collaboration, education, mutual support, and collegiality.
