Ematiq a.s.

Our team of engineers, quantitative analysts & traders with access to inhouse domain experts is on constant lookout for sizable business opportunities. Our secret sauce is a clever combination of mathematics, ingenious engineering and access to proprietary data sources as well as access to decades of accumulated experience and network in relevant fields.

Unique culture is one of our biggest assets. Our guiding principles are the focus on rationality and intelligent decision making. We value autonomy, ownership and trust and reward manifesting these accordingly. If you ever felt bogged down by politics, bureaucracy or lack of recognition for your talent or intelligence, then look no further.

In exchange for your talent we are focused on delivering individualized support for your career and technological growth. This means that your manager will help you set up goals that jointly optimize for your own and company's success and is responsible to provide you with individualized support needed to reach these goals.

You will also be exposed to following technologies - experience is nice to have but not necessarily required:

• Python for ML / quantitative models and glue work
