The future of quantitative investing belongs to platforms that turn massive data into ideas, signals, and decisions in real time.
Goldman Sachs has the raw materials few firms can match: one of the deepest sets of market, transactional, and alternative data in finance, and one of the largest concentrations of quantitative talent anywhere; traders, researchers, strategists, and systematic PMs across global markets.
What we are building is the platform that connects the two - compressing the path from research idea to live trading strategy from weeks to hours, for every researcher at the firm, on a single platform.
As an engineer, your work will directly influence how quantitative researchers, and traders discover signals, test investment ideas, build capabilities that improve and translate research velocity, support alpha generation and strengthen into production trading decisions.
Partner directly with quantitative researchers, portfolio managers, traders, and engineering teams to define and deliver high impact research capabilities, building the platform, infrastructure, AI assisted workflows, and scalable compute that accelerate signal discovery, experimentation, back testing, deployment, and production monitoring, reducing the time from idea to production from weeks to hours.
Build high throughput distributed systems capable of processing petabytes of market, transactional, and alternative data while maintaining low latency, resiliency, and operational excellence.
Develop next generation research workflows that incorporate large language models, agentic systems, model context protocols (MCP), and modern machine learning infrastructure to accelerate discovery and insight generation.
Build AI native research capabilities that combine large language models, agentic systems, knowledge graphs, vector search, quantitative datasets and experimentation frameworks to make research workflows faster, more discoverable and more scalable.
Drive architecture, reliability, observability, automated testing, and software development best practices across a globally distributed platform.
Own critical platform capabilities end to end, from concept and architecture through implementation, adoption and production operations, with the opportunity to shape long term platform strategy and engineering standards.
You will join a team building strategic capabilities that sit at the center of Goldman Sachs' quantitative and electronic trading businesses. The platform you build will influence how research is conducted, how models are developed, and how ideas become production trading strategies across global markets.
This role combines the scale and complexity of a leading technology company with the impact, pace, and intellectual rigor of one of the world's premier financial institutions.
