Senior Data Engineer – ML Quant Fund – UAE – up to $250,000 USD

Opportunities for Data Engineers to do truly impactful work in the UAE remain scarce, with most buy-side firms keeping their core tech teams in London, New York, or Singapore. This team rewards people directly for the impact they make, with performance bonuses that genuinely reflect contribution.

Although the team prefer collaborating in person, the office is conveniently located. The most sought-after neighbourhoods in Abu Dhabi are only a 10–20 minute drive away. No tube strikes, no packed commutes, and no paying for a season ticket just to stand. A cab typically costs around £8 one way.

It’s also a place where people stay. Staff turnover is well below industry average, and most of the team have relocated from top buy-side firms across New York, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Paris.

What you’ll do

• Acquire and ingest datasets from various sources to meet business needs.
• Design, build and manage robust data pipelines and infrastructure to ensure high data quality and reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business objectives and translate them into technical solutions.
• Partner closely with quantitative researchers and investment analysts to ensure data products meet research requirements.

What you’ll need

• 6+ years’ experience in Data/Quant Engineering
• Python, SQL
• Modern data warehousing (Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, etc.)
• Apache Airflow or similar
• Terraform
• Cloud experience (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Familiarity with common financial datasets (Bloomberg, FactSet, S&P Global, Macrobond, Finaeon, MSCI, etc.)

Why move to the UAE?

• Ranked among the top 5 safest cities in the world
• An emerging global hub for buy-side finance
• Top international schools with school fees covered by the client for your family
• Year-round sunshine; option to work from your home country in July/August
• Significant tax advantages

Principal Software Engineer – Artificial Intelligence – London – up to £260k base + Equity

Do you aspire to take technical ownership of a platform in an industry where acquisitions can happen within a matter of years?

Defense technology is experiencing exponential growth. For instance, before 2021, investment in the sector across Europe never exceeded $100 million in a single year. However, in 2023, Europe’s defense startups raised $464 million.

You’ll spend 90% of your time coding and the other 10% mentoring other developers. Together, you’ll engage in highly varied work on an enterprise-tier system that integrates robotic and autonomous systems through a unified interface. Here, critical thinking and rapid development are the guiding principles. The team begins each day with open, engaging discussions, creatively brainstorming how to tackle technical challenges.

What are we looking for?

• A degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Strong programming skills in either C++, Java, Rust or Python
• 5+ years of development experience in building complex, multi-user systems.

The culture is founded on trust and individual maturity, free from micromanagement.

We recognise that individuals are not just checkboxes. If you’re intrigued by this opportunity but unsure if it’s the right fit, feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or via email [email protected]).

You may not have previously been aware, but if you have skills which involve tuning trading logic for maximum performance in C++, you may have a new home in Dubai.

This team will be looking at you for your expertise around high-frequency trading algorithms. Deploying trading ideas in the market is what you’re likely to be known for, especially when you know how to improve other things like resource scheduling, data caching and how compute is distributed.

Other things you’ll be doing:

• Working within a Linux/Cloud environment with a strong focus on system and processor performance, networking, and distributed systems
• Balancing high-level architectural design with detailed low-level system optimization, ensuring fault tolerance, simplicity, and robustness
• Taking ownership of projects and contributing to the technical direction of research and trading platforms

Interestingly, you’ll be deploying strategies in an almost entirely cloud-based environment in this shop, so don’t see this role merely as a repeat of what you’re doing. Look at it as somewhere where you’ll be solving new quantitative trading problems and working with engineers who can teach you about the very interesting networking problems they’re solving as well.

With a flat structure and fast feedback loops, this is an opportunity to contribute directly to the design and performance of world-class trading systems.

The Opportunity

This role involves developing and optimizing the low-latency infrastructure that underpins the firm’s high-performance trading operations. Candidates will work closely with traders and other engineers to evolve a system capable of processing millions of transactions per day across centralized and decentralized platforms. The core stack includes C++ and Python, and systems are designed to operate at microsecond latencies under heavy load.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and optimize components of the firm’s low-latency trading infrastructure in C++ and Python
• Collaborate with traders, middle office, and engineering stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver effective solutions in both CeFi and DeFi environments
• Own deployment and monitoring of trading system components in production

• A fully remote and flexible working environment
• High degree of autonomy and the ability to influence both technical direction and business outcomes
• A collaborative, high-performance culture focused on solving hard problems at speed and scale

Candidates who are excited about tackling real-time systems challenges in a dynamic, high-stakes environment are encouraged to apply.

Do you dream in pointers and measure time away from your keyboard in clock-cycles?

If so, I’m working with a development team for whom latency isn’t a metric, it’s treated as an existential crisis. They will need you (person who unironically loves 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫) to continue shaving off micros until they’re down into the nanos.

They treat undefined behaviour for C++2a and C++2b like a personal insult and will be very keen to hear if you have made 𝐬𝐭𝐝::𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐨 cry before. Other things that matter to them would be experience with lock-free programming and strong networking chops (gm Mr./Mrs. Kernel Bypass).

Bonus points if you’ve used 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟 to format your morning routine as well!

What this team offers in return:

• A comically powerful compute estate
• No legacy code (okay, maybe 1 or 2 𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐨 statements)
• A nerf gun arsenal for settling debates about RAII vs. GC
• Free therapy sessions (just kidding—valgrind –tool=callgrind is your therapy

We’re working with a crypto trading firm which prides itself on having some of the most high performance trading infrastructure in the industry. Sure, there are limits to how fast the orders can reach an exchange but this team has future-proofed its infra all the same. 

So what skills do these engineers have and what would they like you to share expertise in?

They’ve come from firms where the work they did was measured in nanos, not micros and typically have the following skills:

Optimising hardware for performance (CPU / GPU).

• Can you leverage SIMD and multiple cores?

Exceptional memory management skills.

• Would you know why reference-counted smart pointers (e.g., std::shared_ptr) still lead to memory leaks?

Networking skills which reduce OS kernel involvement for direct hardware access. 

• When comparing RDMA and DPDK; which one is your go-to for HFT?

The team has not lost any Engineers since they joined the team. What does this tell us? They are paid market-leading compensation and the work they do is intellectually stimulating enough, that they don’t need to go elsewhere for the most fun challenges in crypto trading.

Prior experience in HFT is heavily preferred but if you have a strong track record solving these problems outside of that niche, you may still have a shot!

Work authorisation in Singapore and the US will be required. Sponsorship is available for exceptional candidates to relocate to the UK.
