Job Description
About Lynott Partners
Founded in November 2023 by Sebastian Jory, Lynott Partners is a new absolute return manager backed by long-term private capital with $750m of AUM. The current team of five focus on UK and European equities. The business has the ambition and infrastructure to grow strategies beyond the core European long/short offering.
Role & Responsibilities
The CTO role will encompass managing and delivering on Lynott’s quant, tech, and automation goals. As the most senior non-investment employee, there are also some ‘CEO/COO’ type responsibilities like liaising with outsourced counterparties (trading tech, HR, compliance). This replaces a temporary ‘launch COO’ who worked 2 days a week and is expected to take around a third of the CTO’s role initially, with the aim that much can be automated over time.
The core contribution of the employee will be to build a future-facing tech stack, manage the automation and data science builds, as well as taking a central role in hiring and managing quant talent where appropriate.
Key Skills
Highly proficient programmer ('10x')
Project manager and communicator
Systems thinker, strong cloud service experience
Nice to have
Finance experience with an understanding of markets, companies
AI native - experience building with APIs & SDKs
Data science experience - perhaps proxied by Snowflake, Kaggle familiarity
Experience with Google Sheet & Excel automations, given they remain part of analyst workflows
Expectations
Candidate is highly driven & motivated to produce best-in-class applications and automations
Financial services hours than tech hours, however strong flexibility in working arrangements
Start date before August (ideally)
