Weiss Asset Management is seeking a skilled Python Developer to design, build, and maintain the software infrastructure that supports our quantitative analysts and investment professionals. This person will develop robust, scalable tools and systems that enable research, portfolio analysis, and quantitative strategy development. The ideal candidate has strong software engineering fundamentals and understands how well-designed technology can enhance investment research. You will work closely with quantitative developers, analysts, and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality, maintainable solutions that advance our technical capabilities and streamline analytical workflows.

Many of our solutions stem from jumping in with users on technical issues that arise throughout the research and development process. In some case, you may provide a quick fix, in others we may wish to take a step back and look at the problem in a broader context.
