Job description

AAA is partnering with a growing trading firm that’s launching a new algorithmic trading pod in London, focused on global markets. This is a rare opportunity to help build a systematic trading platform from the ground up, with full ownership over research and infrastructure decisions.

The firm is seeking a quant researcher with hands-on experience designing research platforms and contributing to trading systems. This role sits at the intersection of research and engineering, requiring close collaboration with traders, quants, and non-technical stakeholders alike. The ability to translate complex business needs into robust technical solutions is key.

Candidates from Python, C++, or Java backgrounds are welcome. The team values intellectual flexibility and a low-ego, high-impact mindset — ideal for someone comfortable in a flat structure, wearing multiple hats, and taking initiative across varied and evolving projects.

In return, the firm offers a highly competitive salary, a performance-driven bonus structure, and the autonomy to shape a greenfield build from day one.

If this sounds like the kind of challenge you’re ready for, we’d love to hear from you.
