[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4054 bytes --]

Voleon Capital Management LP is a startup quantitative hedge fund located in Berkeley, California. We would like to hire a senior software engineer as soon as possible.

Voleon's founders previously worked together at one of the most successful quantitative hedge funds in the world. Our CEO has a PhD in Computer Science from Stanford and has been CEO and founder of a successful Internet infrastructure startup. Our Chief Investment Officer has a PhD in Statistics from Berkeley. Voleon's team includes PhD's from leading departments in statistics, computer science, and mathematics. We have made several unpublished advances in the field of machine learning and in other areas as well.

Here is our formal job description:

**********************************************************



* Senior Software Engineer *

Technology-driven investment firm employing cutting-edge statistical machine learning techniques seeks an exceptionally capable software engineer. You  will architect and implement new production trading systems, machine learning infrastructure, data integration pipelines, and large-scale storage systems. The firm researches and deploys systematic trading strategies designed to generate attractive returns without being dependent on the performance of the overall market.

Join a team of under 30 people that includes a Berkeley statistics professor as well as over ten PhD's from Berkeley, Chicago, CMU, Princeton, Stanford, and UCLA, led by the founder and CEO of a successful Internet infrastructure technology firm. The firm's offices are walking distance from BART and the UC Berkeley campus in downtown Berkeley, California. We have a casual and collegial office environment, weekly catered lunches, and competitive benefits packages.

We seek candidates with a proven track record of writing correct, well-designed software, solving hard problems, and delivering complex projects on time. You should preferably have experience designing and implementing fault-tolerant distributed systems. Experience with building large-scale data infrastructure, stream processing systems, or latency-sensitive programs is a bonus.

We are growing rapidly. Willingness to take initiative and a gritty determination to productize are essential.

Required experience:
- developing with OCaml/C/C++/Python/Go in a Linux environment with a focus on performance, concurrency, and correctness.
- working in TCP/IP networking, multi-threading, and server development.
- working with common Internet protocols (IP, TCP/UDP, SSL/TLS, HTTP, SNMP, etc.).
- architecting and designing highly available systems.
- architecting and designing large-scale data management infrastructure.
- working in large codebases and building modular, manageable code.

Preferred experience:
- debugging and performance profiling, including the use of tools such as strace, valgrind, gdb, tcpdump, etc.
- working with build and test automation tools.
- working with well-defined change management processes.
- diagnosing RDBMS performance problems, exploiting indexing, using EXPLAIN PLAN, optimizing at the code layer, etc.
- working with messaging queues (RabbitMQ, Redis, etc.) as well as distributed caching systems.

Interest in financial applications is essential, but experience in finance is not a primary factor in our hiring.

Benefits and compensation are highly competitive.
**********************************************************
The above job description is just a starting point in terms of possible duties and seniority.  We can be very flexible for the right person.

If you are interested, please apply on our website with your full and complete CV: http://voleon.com/apply/

It's OK, you still have C++, Python and Go for all your correctness needs.
Good luck with that.

What I read is

"Required experience:
- developing with C/C++/Python/Go in a Linux environment with a focus
on performance, concurrency, and correctness.
...
"

From what I understand, they just dropped the requirement of having an
experience in OCaml, since good programmers can easily be taught to
use OCaml without prior exposition.

We are talking to several senior OCaml developers.  We are interested in, first and foremost, people that have very strong logical problem solving abilities.  If these people want to implement the systems that we need in OCaml or any other language that makes sense for our overall systems, we will be happy to have them do so.  I happen to know of several very strong groups and individuals who are committed to using OCaml – there seems to be a trend of very strong developers moving to OCaml.  Therefore the job posting here.

The bottom line is that Voleon is a very dynamic and flexible situation in terms of how we are creating our strategies and systems.

Maybe so, but not including a programming language in the official
advertisement, only in the e-mail sent to the list, is still rather
embarrassing.

Agree.  Maybe they were more worried that otherwise competent candidates 
who didn't now OCaml might be deterred from applying?
