Symmetry Investments | Many Varied Roles | REMOTE GLOBALLY or VISA (London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jersey) | D/C/C++, Julia, Typescript, Haskell/Ocaml/ML | Full-Time, Fixed Term, Flexible
## Roles we are hiring for
- Business Analysts: business analysis, documentation, team and tool design
- Native Code Developers: We are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D. Our experience has been that strong C and C++ developers can learn D quite quickly.
- Functional programmers to work with practitioners in delivering value to the business using Symmetry Integration Language.
- Documentation: At Symmetry we recognise the value of writing and have for example a Pulitzer prize-winning former WSJ journalist and a maintainer of Linux Kernel Newbies documentation. 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
- Accounting: are you the sort of person who would use #ledger-cli ? If so, we would like to hear from you.

## 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.

When considering the benefits of hiring a hacker, it is crucial to distinguish between ethical hackers (white/gray hat) and malicious actors (black hat). Engaging in illegal activities is unethical and punishable by law. Below are the legitimate benefits of hiring certified ethical hackers for legal purposes:
1. Enhanced Cybersecurity
Ethical hackers perform penetration testing and vulnerability assessments to identify weaknesses in systems, networks, or applications before criminals exploit them. This proactive approach strengthens defenses against breaches.
2. Proactive Threat Detection
By simulating real-world attacks (e.g., red team exercises), ethical hackers uncover hidden risks, allowing organizations to patch vulnerabilities before they cause harm.
3. Incident Response & Recovery
In the event of a breach, ethical hackers assist in containing damage, analyzing attack vectors, and recovering compromised data, minimizing downtime and financial loss.
4. Regulatory Compliance
Industries like healthcare (HIPAA) and finance (PCI-DSS) require stringent data protection. Ethical hackers ensure systems meet compliance standards, avoiding legal penalties.
5. Employee Training & Awareness
They educate staff on cybersecurity best practices (e.g., spotting phishing emails), reducing human error鈥攁 leading cause of breaches.
6. Cost Savings
Preventing breaches is far cheaper than mitigating one. IBM鈥檚 2023 report found the average breach cost $4.45 million; proactive hacking can slash this risk.
7. Reputation Protection
A secure organization retains customer trust. Ethical hacking helps avoid headlines about data leaks, preserving brand integrity.
8. Digital Forensics
Hackers trace attack origins, gather evidence for legal actions, and help refine future defenses through forensic analysis.
9. Competitive Edge
Businesses known for robust security attract privacy-conscious clients, differentiating them from competitors.
10. Data Recovery
Ethical hackers can legally recover lost or encrypted data (e.g., ransomware attacks) without compromising ethics.
Key Considerations:
- Certifications Matter: Hire professionals with credentials like CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) or OSCP.
- Legal Agreements: Ensure contracts define the scope of work to avoid legal risks.
- Ethics First: Never engage in unauthorized hacking, which can lead to severe consequences.
By leveraging ethical hackers, organizations turn adversarial tactics into powerful tools for resilience and growth. Always prioritize transparency and legality in cybersecurity practices. 馃敀
