Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVirik Jain is a Lead Tech with 8 years of experience building full-stack, low-latency trading platforms for bond traders at D. E. Shaw, where he progressed from Member Technical to leading development of a real-time analytics and trading system. He combines hands-on expertise in Python, Java, TypeScript/React and Kafka with product-driven ownership—ideating features with users and carrying them through design, implementation and post-release support. His work has scaled trading workflows by multiples (e.g., ~10x order scaling for liquidity provisioning) and converted end-of-day hedging into real-time PnL-positive flows via Kafka stream apps. Earlier research and internship roles in deep learning and ML (including Transformer-based NLU work at Samsung and an ID3 optimization at IIIT) give him an uncommon blend of ML grounding and production systems instincts. Rated highly for stakeholder engagement, code quality and process execution, he also mentors junior engineers and drives cross-functional delivery. Based in Mumbai, he holds a B.Tech from VJTI and pursues applied deep learning coursework to bring ML-informed ideas into trading products.
