Quanted

Quanted is looking to hire a versatile Tech Lead who can wear multiple hats: architect, hands-on builder, mentor, and pragmatic problem-solver. Youll partner closely with the CTO to design and ship secure, high-performance services (Python/FastAPI), manage Linux (Debian-based) environments, tune Nginx, and lead a small, high-impact dev team. Youll also guide how we apply LLMs and RAG to real product needs while respecting strict on-prem, no-data-exfil constraints. What You’ll Do: Own architecture and delivery of backend services and internal tooling (Python, FastAPI), from design to production reliability. Administer and harden Debian-based Linux systems; configure and optimize Nginx for API gateways, routing, and performance. Build robust data processing pipelines leveraging pandas, NumPy, SciPy, and related libraries. Design, deploy, and evaluate LLM and RAG features for search, summarization, and workflow acceleration—grounded in real customer constraints. Lead and grow a small engineering team: set standards, run reviews, mentor, and coordinate delivery. Champion security and on-prem architecture patterns that keep client data on their servers (no external operability). Ship under pressure: break down ambiguous goals, communicate trade-offs, and deliver incremental value fast. What You'll Bring: Linux (Debian-based) administration and troubleshooting expertise. Python at an advanced level (typing, async, packaging, testing, performance). REST APIs with FastAPI (OpenAPI, validation, auth, async I/O, observability). Nginx configuration (reverse proxying, TLS, caching, rate limiting). Strong hands-on with pandas, NumPy, SciPy, and the broader scientific Python stack. Demonstrated, production experience with LLMs and RAG systems (evaluation, grounding, retrieval pipelines, vector stores or alternatives). Experience leading a small dev team (planning, reviews, mentorship, hiring signals). Proven team player who communicates clearly and thrives under pressure. Nice to haves: Secure, on-prem deployments and data-at-rest/in-transit protections aligned with enterprise constraints. High speed NO-SQL databases (e.g., LMDB), high-throughput data processing, and performance profiling. Containers/CI-CD (Docker, GitHub Actions), infra-as-code (Terraform). Experience with vector DBs or retrieval alternatives. Our Benefits: Competitive Compensation: Attractive salary package with equity. High ownership and direct impact on projects that influence investment decision-making processes at top global investment funds. Professional Growth: Access to the latest tools and tech in data science and finance, with abundant learning opportunities. Flexible hours and remote work options in a supportive and inclusive company culture. Quanted is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. To learn more about us visit Quanted.com
