Job description

Quant Developer | Systematic Trading | Hong Kong

I’m working on a brand-new Quant Developer hire for a global multi-strategy hedge fund that is continuing to invest heavily into its APAC systematic trading capabilities.

This is an expansionary hire within a small Quant Development team in Hong Kong, working closely with Portfolio Managers and Quant Researchers to build frameworks, tooling and solutions supporting quantitative research and live trading.

They’re looking for someone who enjoys operating in a lean, high-ownership environment - someone curious, self-driven and comfortable solving a wide range of problems rather than working within a narrowly defined remit.

What they’re looking for:

• 3-6 years’ experience, ideally supporting systematic/quantitative trading
• Strong Python development skills, including solid CS fundamentals, system design and performance/debugging
• Strong understanding of financial markets and trading
• Ideally experience within a systematic hedge fund, systematic pod or similarly lean trading environment
• Exposure to areas such as distributed computing, data, cloud, databases and/or trading infrastructure is valuable
• A genuine “can-do” mindset - proactive, pragmatic and comfortable taking ownership
• Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with investment teams

Why consider it?

This isn’t a maintenance role. The firm is still in a significant build and expansion phase across APAC, offering the opportunity to join relatively early, have meaningful impact and work closely with the investment business.

Non-competes: The team can accommodate strong candidates with 6-9 month timelines, so don’t let a longer availability period put you off reaching out.
