“Before G-Research I’d completed internships at a few companies whilst studying Computer Science at the University of York. Since joining, I’ve progressed from an intern to a graduate to an engineer, having worked on systems and technology core to the business my entire time.
“I currently work developing one of our core platforms which is used by our researchers every day. This involves writing code for new applications and features, extending our current systems, and working with the rest of the team to help define our future architecture. I also support these components running at scale across our compute farm, and in live trading.
“I think what makes G-Research stand out is how everyone works together across all teams to achieve our goals; everyone, no matter how new, can make a difference to the business.”
"What I appreciate most about working in G-Research is the supportive and knowledgeable environment. Everyone is incredibly helpful and patient, which ensures there’s a good balance between being challenged and your workload."
"Work culture is an important aspect for me, so when I was contacted by G-Research I discovered a company where I could grow as a developer, whilst feeling like the company valued me as a person, not just a code monkey."
"My role focuses on finding signals in real-world data and in many ways, it feels like a continuation of my PhD; I’m looking at unexplored problems and I choose which ones to focus on."
"What I like the most about my job is it’s super open. I’m able to work with a lot of folks from other teams, too, such as working closely with Engineers and other Quantitative Researchers."
"My intern experience was really good. You get the opportunity to impact a business, which is important if you’re preparing to enter the workplace. You get to do something useful and see how it gets used; I worked on a project that is still being used now."
Hear from Jay, an Open Source Software Engineer, on tackling technical debt in OpenStack. As technology evolves, outdated code becomes inefficient and harder to maintain. Jay highlights the importance of refactoring legacy systems to keep open-source projects sustainable and future-proof.
