Quantitative Equity Technology, Infrastructure Software Engineer

Connor, Clark & Lunn Investment Management

We deliver foundational systems that shape the future of how technology is used in a top performing quantitative equity fund that manages over $75 billion in financial assets. This is a fantastic opportunity in the exciting intersection of finance and technology where investment decisions are made using technology. Quantitative equity funds use programmed investment strategies and as a result, our technology team is crucial to its success.
 
The team is headquartered and deeply rooted in West Coast Vancouver. We place high value on maintaining an entrepreneurial spirit and creating a culture where each of us has opportunities to succeed.
 
What You Will Do
 
The technology infrastructure team plays an essential role through innovative technologies on our hybrid (on-premise and cloud based) platform: distributed computing, petabyte-scale data storage, containerization, non-traditional high-performance databases, process orchestration, monitoring, data visualization and DevOps. You own the entire technology infrastructure life cycle:
  • Engineer and support software and systems infrastructure.
  • Introduce new foundational technologies that advance our software engineering capabilities to the next level.
  • Collaborate with our software development teams on support issues and improvements to our infrastructure tools, processes, and software.
  • Act as a conduit between our application development teams, and IT, network security, and other stakeholders to align priorities and translate business requirements into technical designs.
  • Improve systems infrastructure reliability.
  • Gather and analyze metrics from operating systems and applications to assist in performance tuning, fault finding and business continuity planning.
  • Design, plan and implement solutions in an entrepreneurial spirit.
What You Bring
  • Programming Knowledge – you have an undergraduate, graduate, or post-graduate degree in a computer-related field OR exceptional programming skills gained through your work experience. We use several programming languages (Kdb+/Q, Python, Java, C#, Angular/Typescript).
  • Passion for Technology – we work on low-level foundational systems and software. Knowledge about cloud computing (AWS), systems engineering, distributed systems, scripting, operating systems (specifically Windows and Linux), databases, and host-based networking, is useful in this role. Upfront knowledge is preferred but not required; if you are passionate about technology, learning new concepts is natural and fun.
  • Collaborative Communication – we work together with many different teams and stakeholders. You have a collaborative spirit that helps you to work well with others and communicate effectively.
  • Project Ownership Mindset – we own different technology stacks and are often responsible for exploring new technology to modernize existing systems. Our team needs to take initiative and proactively drive the execution of systems projects that we own. You enjoy taking on responsibility and owning decisions made. Organizational skills are helpful to ensure projects are well managed.
  • Troubleshooting and Problem Resolution – you think laterally to dissect a problem into its component parts and diagnose root causes. You use different troubleshooting techniques to identify problems across different technologies.
  • Growth Mindset – technology and investment requirements are constantly changing.  You are a lifelong learner who continually invests in personal development.
We welcome applications from candidates with different levels of experience, including interns, new graduates, and experienced professionals. The base salary range for full-time roles is $125,000 – $200,000 annually plus a competitive performance bonus. Compensation will be determined based on experience and qualifications.
