I don't know either party but I'd hazard a guess that they're not really offering 500k for a K developer.
They're more likely offering 500k for someone who has a lot of experience managing financial tick data in a KDB environment.
The catch will be that not everyone who has read the KDB for Dummies book (OK, I made that up) will be able to walk into a stat arb hedge fund and add 500k of value.
