Hello, My name is Charles Weitzer. I have two friends who have started a quantitative hedge fund. One has his PhD in CS from Stanford, while the other has his PhD in Statistics from Berkeley. Company has around 12 people currently. They have made some unpublished discoveries in the field of Machine Learning and in other areas as well. They are looking for an extremely talented software engineer. This position could be a simple software engineer, but it could also be where you are "The Man", basically the head of systems development. These guys are going to be the next big thing in terms of quantitative strategies and systems. They are rebuilding their current system and also designing a new system. You could work on either or both. The title and level of seniority is very flexible. As well, given their returns, this is a chance to become extremely wealthy. They are currently managing a very healthy amount of capital. FYI, I am retained by them. They are located in Northern California.
