About Us:
Symmetry Investments is a post startup c. USD 6.5 billion alternative asset management company with around 220 people across multiple time zones and locations. Our core technology team has been remote first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, post-COVID.
I'm one of the three people running the firm, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm. We are three years into a period of transformation from initially a fairly standard enterprise finance technology approach to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager.
It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming but are oriented towards solving their business problems with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.
The language is written in D, we hosted dconf last year and will do so again when conditions permit. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with or as practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.
It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.
We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with the tools we use.
Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure - don't be surprised if our founder and CIO starts asking you questions about your work.

Julia Computing | Boston, MA or Remote | Full-Time or Contract | https://juliacomputing.com/
Julia Computing, one of the principal driving forces behind the Julia programming language, is creating a new team to extend the Modeling & Simulation capabilities of the Julia platform (and Julia Computing’s commercial extensions) into the Electronics simulation space. The goal is the creation of a new tool for analog and mixed signal circuit simulations that can leverage our existing Modeling & Simulation capabilities as well as new and upcoming technologies such as machine learning based surrogates to provide significant improvements in both simulation performance and end user usability. To enhance the team, we are seeking an engineer with strong programming skills and a background in circuit simulation, who can drive the “frontend” (circuit specification, device models, workflows) design of this tool, set requirements, interface with end users, work through benchmark problems (e.g. simulations of open source devices in the Skywater 130nm process node) and overall ensure the usefulness of the tool for the electronic circuit designer.
Required Applicant Background
- Strong Programming Skills - Experience with mathematical/numerical/scientific computing - Background in EDA tools, electronic circuit or semiconductor design and electronics simulation (e.g. SPICE simulations) - Strong communication skills (regular customer/end user interaction required) Desired Applicant Background - Experience writing Julia code (Julia will be the primary language for all newly written code) - Some familiarity with machine learning - Familiarity with Open Source IC design tools - Familiarity with open source development flows (git, GitHub, etc.) We anticipate that qualifying applicants will have a Masters or PhD in an engineering discipline. However, any qualified applicants matching the requested background will be considered.The team is based in Boston, MA, USA. Julia Computing is a remote-first company with the majority of its workforce being remote and distributed around the world.
To apply, please email a copy of your resume, along with a cover letter highlighting your interest in the position and relevant background to <jobs@juliacomputing.com> with CC to Keno Fischer <keno@juliacomputing.com>.
