About Man Numeric

Man Numeric employs systematic security-selection processes that are underpinned by a bottom-up, fundamental approach, offering both long only and alternative strategies. The team's highly experienced professionals operate collaboratively, distilling their analytical and investment expertise into systematic processes which are applied across regions, styles, and capitalizations.

Man Numeric has a strong history in public equities, focusing on bottom-up stock selection processes based on fundamental, causal market relationships and reinforced by continuous research. Its approach seeks to capitalize on temporary market inefficiencies, with models that look to identify mispricing opportunities. Furthermore, the engine seeks to innovate continually and research new areas and opportunities. Man Numeric has significant capabilities in systematic responsible investing, with around half of its assets managed employing some form of sustainability screen.

Founded in 1989 and becoming part of Man Group in 2014, Man Numeric's funds under management were more than $41.0 billion as at 30 June 2023. Further information can be found at

The Role

As a Software Engineer in the Front-office Engineering organization at Man Numeric, you will work closely with Quantitative Researchers and Portfolio Managers. Your challenges will be varied and may include onboarding new datasets, implementing new trading signals, developing portfolio optimization tools, building data visualization frameworks, enhancing our research platform, and performance tuning existing code using efficient numerical algorithms and cluster-computing solutions.

Our Technology

Our systems are almost all running on Linux and most of our code is in Python, with the full scientific stack: NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, statsmodels, and scikit-learn to name a few of the libraries we use extensively. We implement the systems that require the highest data throughput in Java. For storage, we rely heavily on MongoDB and MS SQL.

We use Control-M and Airflow for workflow management, Kafka for data pipelines, Bitbucket for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, ELK for log shipping and monitoring, Docker for containerisation, OpenStack for our private cloud, Ansible for architecture automation, and Slack for internal communication. Our technology list is never static: we constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.

Working Here

Man Numeric has a small company, no-attitude feel. It is flat structured, open, transparent and collaborative, and you will have plenty of opportunity to grow and have enormous impact on what we do. We are actively engaged with the broader technology community.

We regularly talk at leading industry conferences, and tweet about relevant technology and how we're using it. See @manquanttech
We host and sponsor Boston meetups and London's PyData and Machine Learning Meetups
We open-source some of our technology, including our ultra-high-performance DataFrame database, ArcticDB. See for a full list and more information.

We're fortunate enough to have a fantastic open-plan office overlooking the Boston harbour, and continually strive to make our environment a great place in which to work. We believe that agile working allows us to deliver the best business outcomes for our clients and investors as well as having a positive impact on work-life balance and the wellbeing of our staff. We are simultaneously committed to "levelling the playing field" and believe that agile working promotes inclusivity across teams, regions and business units. In general, Technology roles are expected to be in the office for 2-3 days a week. However, the specifics can vary based on the role, team, and individual circumstances, and are ultimately subject to the manager's discretion.

We offer competitive compensation, a generous holiday allowance, various health and other flexible benefits. We are also committed to continuous learning and development via coaching, mentoring, regular conference attendance and sponsoring academic and professional qualifications.
