Job description

About the Client:

Our client is one of the world's premier private investment and quantitative trading institutions. Renowned for its industry-leading technology, scientific approach to trading, and flat organizational structure, this firm managing tens of billions in assets provides an unparalleled launchpad for exceptional technical minds. They foster a culture of meritocracy, intellectual rigor, and rapid execution, completely free of bureaucratic red tape.

The Role & Landscape

We are seeking a highly motivated, cross‑functional Quantitative Developer / Researcher to join a premier, fast‑paced Commodities trading desk. In this role, you will not be siloed; instead, you will have a 360‑degree view of the entire trading lifecycle. You will work directly alongside portfolio managers and traders to build the next generation of quantitative tools and alpha‑generating models.

• End‑to‑End Ownership: Design, develop, and optimize high‑performance Python‑based trading tools, pricing engines, and real‑time execution algorithms.


• AI & ML Integration: Research and implement modern machine learning/AI workflows to extract predictive insights from complex, unstructured global energy market data.


• Data Pipeline Engineering: Build robust, scalable data pipelines to ingest and clean alternative datasets crucial for daily trading decisions.


• High‑Octane Environment: Experience the direct impact of your code on the desk’s PnL within a high‑intensity, intellectually stimulating environment.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: 3 to 5 years of experience as a Quant Developer, Quant Researcher, or hands‑on Quantitative Engineer within a boutique hedge fund, proprietary trading firm, or agile commodity desk.


• Technical Master: Advanced engineering capabilities in either Python or other programming languages (Java/C++/C#/Rust/Golang etc.), with deep familiarity of the scientific computing stack and software engineering best practices.


• Quantitative/AI Rigor: Strong mathematical, statistical, or machine learning foundations. Hands‑on experience executing AI/ML projects is highly valued.


• Boutique Mindset: Proven track record of owning multiple domains (research, code, deployment, data). We value generalists who want to understand the \"whole picture\" over narrow specialists.


• Language Skills: Professional fluency or native proficiency in Mandarin/Chinese is required to effectively analyze regional datasets and communicate with crucial market counterparties.


• Drive & Stamina: A passion for continuous learning, an adaptable mindset, and the resilience to thrive in a high‑intensity, highly rewarding trading environment.

Why Apply To This Role

• Unmatched Compensation: Extremely competitive base salary coupled with a highly lucrative, performance‑driven formulaic bonus structure.


• True Ownership: Avoid the fragmentation of mega‑banks. Here, you see the direct results of your research and code deployed directly into live trading.


• Global Relocation: Comprehensive relocation and visa support provided for exceptional candidates worldwide to move to one of Asia's premier financial capitals.


• Greenfield Projects: Work on highly complex, non‑commoditized datasets using state‑of‑the‑art AI infrastructure.
