Karamaan Group, an investment firm based in Manhattan, is looking for an outstanding software developer to develop tools for financial analysis and knowledge management. Since we are investors, not traders, our focus is on building business and data analysis systems, not trading systems. We strongly value people who take pride in their work and have a craftsman’s dedication to building bespoke products.
Our ideal candidate is an experienced software developer with a penchant for abstraction and analysis, a solid sense of organization, and an ability to communicate and persuade. While we are looking for a candidate who demonstrates an intense focus on quality, she or he also needs a master engineer’s intuition for making the trade offs that are a necessary part of day-to-day software development.
Candidates should have some formal training in a quantitative field and a keen interest in building robust and elegant computer programs. This is a high-impact, high-visibility position where successful candidates will be entrusted with a lot of responsibility for products that have a direct effect on the P&L of the firm and influences our workflow.
We are looking for a candidate who has a strong understanding of, or work experience with, Haskell, relational databases, and Java. All new development is performed in Haskell, but some of our legacy code base is in Java. Our intention is to, over time, completely migrate to Haskell. We don't require previous experience in financial economics or business analysis, but knowledge in those areas is a plus. Telecommuting is an option, but you must be located in the continental United States and authorized to work in the United States. Please include a CV and cover letter in your application.
