This is an on-site role and this position is part of our global Quant and Integration team and will report to the Senior Trading Analyst of Quant and Integration.

What we offer

• The opportunity to work in a collaborative environment where your contributions directly impact the success of the desk
• A close-knit team that values innovation, creativity, and professional growth
