　　## Roles we are hiring for

　　- Business Analysts: business analysis, documentation, team and tool design

We are looking for people to write technical documentation and to document data structures and processes (open to varying range of technical ability depending on the project).

　　- Front end design: designers - ideally with some ability to program - to work on usability and aesthetics for our applications and other information-presenting systems, on both web and desktop

　　- Designers for documentation: Now that non-programming internal work is moving to markdown in git, we are hiring designers to work on templates and mini-logos for documentation and other work.

　　- Data Science: time series analysis in particular, including high frequency data sets that are too big for simple tools

　　- Information Security: incident response, threat intelligence, vuln management

　　- Platform: Platform as Code, Site Reliability Engineers, Windows desktop support; frontline server support and administration; application support

　　- Legal and Compliance: #lawyerswhocode or who are very comfortable working with markdown in git

　　## About Us

　　Symmetry Investments is a post startup USD 9+ billion alternative asset management company with around 250 people across multiple time zones and locations.

　　Our core technology team has been remote-first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, accelerated by the pandemic.

　　I'm co-CEO and co-COO, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm.

　　We are five years into a period of transformation from what was initially a fairly standard enterprise finance technology approach to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager. [Amaury Sechet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhR4PSExnqk) and [Atila Neves](https://dlang.org/blog/2019/10/15/my-vision-of-ds-future/) have been working with us as long-term consultants and we have many other talented people with lower public profiles.

　　It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming, but are oriented towards solving business problems, with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. SIL can compile and call C++, D, and C# at runtime and interoperate with Python and R. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.

　　The language is written in D and we have a close involvement with the D Foundation and community, hosting DConf in London. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.

　　It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.

　　We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Haskell, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with the tools we use.

　　Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure - don't be surprised if our founder and Chief Investment Officer starts asking you questions about your work.

　　Team is 41 full-time, full-remote from 20+ countries. We're growing, profitable, employee-owned, no dependence on outside funding. Applicants from all geographies and backgrounds are welcome.

　　We are looking for passionate individuals for whom programming is not just a job but it’s something they love to do. We're obsessed with computers, programming, big data, databases, compilers, hardware, math, data science, and the internet. Does this sound like you? Please apply to join our team.

　　Our code base is very friendly to new contributors. You'll have a fully-functional development environment within hours (fully automated) and be pushing commits on your first day. Deployments to production happen multiple times per day and finish in less than 2 minutes. Effectively all of our codebase is written in Python, Rust, SQL, Javascript/TypeScript, and Nix. The core technologies you'll need familiarity with to be productive are Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Git.

　　We operate at a larger scale than typical startups. We operate two datacenters with high performance servers we've built that are capable of dealing with the volumes of data we process. We've implemented our own distributed file system. We do full-scale web crawls. We download and perform static analysis on the entire universe of Android APKs and iOS IPAs that are published. Unlike a typical startup where you'll spend half of your time in meetings, and the other half fixing bugs from Jira tickets— at MixRank you'll get to challenge yourself with difficult technical problems that will help you to grow as an individual.

Related questions

Hiring a hacker for illegal activities, such as unauthorized access to systems, data theft, or other malicious purposes, is illegal and unethical. Engaging in such activities can lead to severe legal consequences, including fines and imprisonment.

If you're seeking legitimate cybersecurity assistance, here are ethical and legal alternatives:

1. Ethical Hackers (Penetration Testers)

• Purpose: To identify and fix security vulnerabilities in systems, networks, or applications.
• How to Hire:
  • Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or LinkedIn (search for "penetration testers" or "ethical hackers").
  • Reputable cybersecurity firms (e.g., HackerOne, Bugcrowd, or Synack).
  • Certifications to look for: CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), OSCP, or CISSP.

2. Cybersecurity Companies

• Firms like Kaspersky, FireEye, or CrowdStrike offer professional services for threat detection, incident response, and system hardening.

3. Academic/Professional Organizations

• Contact universities with cybersecurity programs or organizations like ISACA or (ISC)虏 for referrals.

4. Recovering Accounts or Data

• If you've lost access to an account (e.g., email/social media), use official recovery channels (e.g., "Forgot Password" options) or contact customer support.

鈿狅笍 Avoid Illegal Options

• Dark web offers or online forums claiming to provide hackers are often scams or traps set by law enforcement.
• Hiring someone for illegal hacking risks financial loss, blackmail, or legal action.

If You're a Victim of Cybercrime

• Report to authorities:
  • FBI IC3 (U.S.), Action Fraud (UK), or your local cybercrime unit.
• Seek help from cybersecurity professionals to secure your systems.

Always prioritize legality and ethics. Cybersecurity professionals exist to protect, not exploit. Let me know if you need guidance on legitimate resources! 馃敀
