Head of Global Talent Acquisition @ Puffy & RGG | ’ | Data, Strategy,Agentic & Hybrid AI

At RGG Capital, we are seeking an experienced Systematic Trader (5+ years) to spearhead the development and execution of quantitative strategies within a new, dedicated trading function at RGG Capital HQ in Dubai. This role offers a unique opportunity to lead, innovate with proprietary AI, and build a significant trading operation backed by patient, long-term capital. Learn more about us: https://rgg.capital/

Reporting directly to the CEO and leading a Quantitative Analyst, you will be instrumental in deploying high-frequency, event-driven trading strategies across commodities and equities. Your core analytical advantage will be unique alpha signals generated from our proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) technology.

Why This Role Presents a Unique Opportunity:

• Define the Edge with Proprietary LLM: Collaborate directly with our AI/ML research team to refine, iterate, and enhance the alpha-generating capabilities of our unique LLM. Your insights will be critical in shaping our technological and trading advantage.
• Build, Lead & Scale with Impact: Assume responsibility for an initial $10M+ book with a clear framework for capital scaling based on performance. Lead a Quantitative Analyst and directly influence the architecture and growth of our systematic trading capability.
• Direct CEO Access & Focused Operational Environment: Benefit from direct strategic alignment with our CEO within a discreet, focused environment conducive to rigorous quantitative work, free from common external fund management pressures.
• Exceptional Tax-Free Rewards & Comprehensive Relocation: Competitive Salary: AED 50,000 - AED 65,000 per month (tax-free), complemented by a performance bonus structure (e.g., directly linked to P&L – details provided to qualified candidates). Full Relocation to Dubai: Including flights, visa sponsorship, and initial accommodation.
• Cutting-Edge Infrastructure & Resources: Operate within an agile setup with access to high-performance computing, sophisticated analytical tools, and the necessary resources for deploying and optimizing low-latency strategies.

Key Responsibilities & Strategic Objectives:

• Strategy & Alpha Generation: Translate LLM-derived signals into robust, profitable trading strategies; continuously research and implement enhancements to alpha and execution quality.
• Portfolio & Risk Management: Manage and scale a $10M+ systematic portfolio, implementing and refining advanced risk controls appropriate for HFT environments.
• Algorithm Optimization: Drive the evolution of trading algorithms to minimize transaction costs (slippage, latency) and maximize performance.
• LLM Feedback & Iteration: Provide critical, data-driven feedback to the AI/ML team to systematically improve the LLM's predictive accuracy and signal efficacy.
• Team Leadership & Development: Mentor and guide a Quantitative Analyst, fostering a culture of rigorous research, quantitative discipline, and high performance.

Candidate Profile: Qualifications & Experience:

Required:

• Minimum 5 years of experience as a Systematic Trader with a verifiable track record of P&L generation in commodities and/or equities.
• Deep expertise in quantitative technical analysis and the full lifecycle of algorithmic trading (HFT/low-latency development, backtesting, deployment, and optimization).
• Demonstrated experience managing and scaling systematic trading portfolios of $10M+ with sophisticated risk management frameworks.
• Advanced proficiency in Python, R, or a similar language for quantitative research, advanced backtesting, and algorithm development.
• Expertise in real-time risk monitoring, mitigation techniques, and statistical performance analysis for systematic strategies.
• Strong capability to collaborate effectively with, and provide precise, actionable insights to, AI/ML research teams.

Preferred:

• Experience in building or significantly scaling a systematic trading desk or a new suite of strategies.
• Direct market microstructure knowledge in energy, agriculture, or specific large-cap equity markets.
• Master’s or PhD in a relevant quantitative field (e.g., Financial Engineering, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science).

Our Commitment: Skills-First, Transparent Hiring Process:

We value demonstrable expertise. Our recruitment process is designed to be efficient, objective, and fair, commencing with a Phase 1 online assessment that allows candidates to showcase their practical skills. This enables us to identify highly capable individuals effectively.
