A little more about Squarepoint Capital: this is not a small firm. Squarepoint is a global quantitative investment manager, with roots going back to the nQuant team at Lehman Brothers in 2000. The team later moved to Barclays before becoming independent as Squarepoint in 2014. What makes it interesting is that technology is at the core of Squarepoint’s operations. They run large-scale research and trading systems, execute millions of trades every day, and have dedicated software engineering teams building trading systems, data infrastructure, and research platforms. So if Bernard Hong’s GitHub statement that he is an “SWE at Squarepoint” is accurate, that background actually fits quite well…
