We are looking for a Research Software Engineer to turn our research into production-ready algorithms and tools. ROOT (root.cern) is a C++/Python framework developed at CERN and used worldwide in particle physics, and also in Project HighLO. You will work as a member of two diverse and creative teams: CERN's ROOT team and the HighLO research collaboration.
Responsibilities:
Work with us on a ROOT-based framework for analysing limit order book data.
Collaborate with financial institutions to adapt our software to their needs and support the deployment process.
Use your experience in data analysis, helping us to apply statistical data analysis techniques used in particle physics to financial data.
Build solutions to analyse streamed data with ROOT in real time.
Work on data structures in ROOT that are used in financial data analysis.
Experience in building data analysis libraries with C++ and Python.
Data analysis experience and domain knowledge in particle physics or finance (or both).
Experience working on large codebase open source projects.
Requirements:
A Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience.
A PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
