Job description

Qube Research & Technologies (QRT) is building a new Delta One trading desk in Sydney, and we're looking for an early hire to help shape its direction and growth.

This is not a traditional trading role where you'll be confined to one part of the trading lifecycle. The role sits at the intersection of trading and quantitative research.

You'll trade Delta One products across Asian markets, operate systematic strategies spanning short-term to longer-term horizons, manage risk, research and develop new alpha signals, and work closely with quantitative researchers and engineers to improve the tools and infrastructure powering the desk.

As the platform develops, you'll also help identify new opportunities and contribute to expanding our trading capabilities across Asia-Pacific markets.

We're looking for someone with:

• Experience trading Delta One products, ideally ETFs, futures, and/or equities, across Asian exchanges, delivering efficient execution and competitive pricing
• Strong quantitative and probabilistic thinking, with an intuitive understanding of expected value and risk/reward
• Experience in systematic trading, market making, proprietary trading or quantitative research
• Programming skills and the ability to work with data and turn ideas into practical trading solutions
• A genuine curiosity about markets and interest in both research and implementation
• A builder mindset — someone who enjoys improving strategies, tools and processes rather than simply operating within established frameworks
• High levels of ownership, attention to detail and accountability
• The ability to communicate and collaborate effectively across trading, research and engineering

What matters is that you're intellectually curious, quantitatively strong, comfortable taking ownership and excited by the opportunity to help build rather than simply inherit.

If you're looking for a role where you can have meaningful impact on a trading business from an early stage, we'd love to hear from you.

QRT is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome diversity as essential to our success. QRT empowers employees to work openly and respectfully to achieve collective success. In addition to professional achievement, we offer initiatives and programs designed to support employees in achieving a healthy work-life balance.
