• Independent business-unit structure with clear P&L ownership
• Full autonomy to design and run the HFT business without legacy constraints
• Operational, legal, and infrastructural support

Required Experience

• Hands-on background as an established HFT trader or senior quantitative researcher with real exposure to live systems
• Strong understanding of exchange protocols, connectivity, and market microstructure
• Ability to coordinate cross-functional workflows and make complex technical decisions
• Comfortable handling external discussions with exchanges, vendors, and partners

If you’re an established HFT professional seeking full autonomy and the backing to build something significant or a senior quant looking to transition into a true leadership role, we’d be glad to speak.
