Machine Learning Engineer

Job description

Virtu’s Research Technology team is looking for an experienced Machine Learning Engineer to join a small group of technologists whose primary function is building the infrastructure that powers our quantitative researchers. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of machine learning and systematic trading — building tools that directly determine how fast our researchers can move, and how effectively our GPU cluster translates into research output. In this role, you will be responsible for the development of our ML research platform: the systems that manage data and compute, track experiments, and enable researchers to go from idea to result as efficiently as possible. You will work closely with quants and engineers alike and will play a central role in shaping how ML is done at the firm as we scale our capabilities. We mostly use Python, C++ and Java with a variety of open-source tools along with proprietary solutions. THE ROLE: - Design and build experiment tracking, job orchestration, and reproducibility infrastructure so researchers can iterate quickly, compare runs reliably, and recover from failures without losing work - Create tools for all stages of the simu...
