They work in what's usually termed the "front office." Quant, sure, but also research development (read: trading algorithm implementation).

Cool. That's adjacent to what i do, but i have more experience and make less money!

As an aside, i love that the names for things vary so much across the industry. Where i am, "research development" means things like building historical market data archives that other people can use to backtest algorithms etc.
