## About the role

Arta manages real client portfolios at scale, and the quality of our investment outcomes depends on a small team that builds the systems behind portfolio construction and trading. We're looking for a senior quant research engineer to help design the models that determine what our portfolios should hold and the logic that executes trades to get there efficiently.

## What they're looking for

- 5 years of experience or strong interest that comes from having worked close to markets or portfolios — as a quant researcher, trader, or in an advisory/PM-facing capacity — giving you intuition for how these systems should behave, not just how to build them
- Strong quantitative finance background, with real fluency in portfolio theory, optimization, and risk
- Rigorous math foundation: linear algebra, optimization, probability and statistics
- Strong software engineering skills, with the ability to take a model from research to a reliable, production-quality system
- Comfortable working across the full stack of a quantitative system: data, models, and the services that run them
- Understanding of tax-aware investing concepts such as tax-loss harvesting
