Original job description
Role: Quant Developer - Cross asset trading tech
Type: Perm
Salary: $230k + Bonus
Location: Montreal
My client is a fast-growing FinTech building the next generation of cross-asset trading technology - equities, FX, rates, and derivatives, all running through platforms engineered for speed, scale, and precision. This isn't legacy bank tech with a fresh coat of paint; it's a modern stack, built by a team that genuinely loves solving hard engineering problems under real market pressure.
They're hiring a Quant Developer to join a tight-knit team of technologists working at the intersection of software engineering, mathematics, and live markets. You'll be writing production Python that touches real trading systems from day one - not shadowing, not just tickets, actual ownership.
This is a launchpad role. Start in quant development, get exposure across the full cross-asset stack, and grow toward quant research and strategy work as you build your track record. The team invests seriously intalent - mentorship, exposure to senior quants and traders, and a clear runway to shape your own path.
What you'll bring:
- A STEM degree from a top institution (math, physics, CS, engineering, or similar)
- Strong experience as a QD or SWE building highly distributed systems.
- Strong Python skills - through coursework, internships, personal projects, or professional experience
- Solid mathematical/quantitative foundation
- Genuine curiosity about markets and trading systems - prior finance experience is a bonus, not a requirement
- A builder's mindset: you want to ship things that matter, not just study them
Why this one's worth a look:
- Cross-asset exposure most junior roles won't give you for years
- Modern, high-performance tech stack - no legacy sludge
- Real path from dev → quant research
- Montreal's fintech/quant scene is genuinely heating up - get in early with a team that's building, not maintaining
