Client

Research at this leading investment firm is key to continued success: based on rigorous and innovative research, they design and implement systematic, computer-driven trading strategies across multiple liquid asset classes. You'll be exposed to all aspects of the systematic investing business; with lots of project ownership and a collaborative start-up environment, this is a fantastic place to work.

Role

They're looking to add an exceptional Quant Developer to a small engineering team within the central research technology team. Working directly with systematic Portfolio Managers - and closely associated with their success - you'll build, operate and evolve the tech stack through analyzing business requirements and identifying solutions.

Current work involves the firm's build-out into High Frequency Trading, to go alongside their multi-asset, multi-strategy approach.

The ideal candidate will be ready to solve a wide variety of problems - from building intraday signal research tools, mid- & high-frequency trading, real-time market data, and beyond.

  • 3-7+ years' development experience in a similar role
  • Strong programming skills in Python (plus some C++ would be ideal)
  • Solid Linux admin experience
  • Bachelor's (or higher) in Computer Science or Computer Engineering
  • A motivated self-starter, with creative & analytical problem-solving skills

Benefits

  • Market-leading base + bonuses + generous benefits
  • Meritocratic environment working with some of the smartest minds in industry
  • Excellent professional development (tuition assistance)
  • Plenty of opportunity to give back through volunteering & charity work
  • Flexible hybrid working model

Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.
