A friend of mine was on this team for the preceding 2 years (and just joined me in industry). It is exactly as Jordan describes it.

This sounds like an awesome project. We just sent you an email!
Do I need to be a US citizen?
We're building the SEC's next generation analytic platforms to keep our markets safe, effective, and trusted. Come build awesome tools to analyse big data (and small data!). We do quantitative analysis, machine learning, plus good old fashioned product development. At the end of the day we ship modern, elegant applications that helps our government be more awesome.
Join a small team of talented developers, capable researchers, and former finance people that saw the light.
Our stack: JS, React, Python, pandas, Flask, C++, KDB, q
Your workstation: .5 TB RAM, plus a gabajillion cores (we each have one)
You are: anyone that wants to help! Awesome front end dev? Machine learning expert? Pythonista? Data scientist? Whatever! We want you! Doesn't matter if you know our stack or not, if you love to learn you'll fit right in.
(Also, if you're more of a finance person and less of a dev/quant/science-person/whatever we have spots for that too, in Boston, Atlanta, NY, Chicago).
