We’re looking for a quantitative developer who is passionate about working with financial data and building products that traders and researchers actually use. At Intropic you’ll join a fast-moving fintech startup where engineers own hard, open-ended problems across research, data and product — we don’t just pick up JIRA tickets.
A typical week will mix Python and SQL development, deploying infrastructure changes, building new features for financial-data products, strategic planning with team leads, and attending client meetings to explain work and gather feedback. You should enjoy shipping production-grade code, be comfortable with ambiguity, collaborate closely with analysts and product teams, and take pride in clean, well-tested systems that power real trading and research workflows.
We hire the person, not the CV. If you thrive on end-to-end ownership and want to help shape product and research direction, we’d love to hear from
you.This is a full-time role, expected to start in the first half of 2026.
