Job description

We tackle the most complex problems in quantitative finance, by bringing scientific clarity to financial complexity. We build smart strategies that win over time.

We unite world-class researchers and engineers in an environment that values deep exploration and methodical execution - because the best ideas take time to evolve.

Together we’re building a world-class platform to amplify our teams’ most powerful ideas.

Join a research team where curiosity meets scale. You’ll investigate foundational questions, uncover market insights and push the boundaries of what's possible - all with the support of near-limitless compute and world-class peers.

Take the next step in your career.

The role

With access to large scale data and compute, our Quantitative Analysts review and refine client trading behaviour to enable new opportunities and maximise performance.

You will work closely with other Research teams, as well as those in Engineering and Front Office, to make improvements, respond to external changes and identify new opportunities across a complex, global client trading platform. Attention to detail and communication is key.

You will perform post-trade analysis in Python using large scale data and compute, implement performant production C# code in the trading platform and monitor your changes in the real-world.

Your work will range between medium term strategic projects and short-term urgent tasks - prioritisation skills and pragmatic decision making to deliver commercial value are necessary.

Who are we looking for?

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

Demonstrable experience in a quantitative role working at pace with an excellent performance track record
An appreciation of market microstructure and algorithmic order placement behaviour
Strong coding skills, ideally Python and C#, but other languages are welcome
The ability to question the status quo and drive improvement and changes
A strong interest in finance and the motivation to rapidly learn and deliver

Why should you apply?
