Job description

As a Quantitative Trader on our Singapore trading floor, you’ll own positions and PnL end-to-end from interpreting live market flow and liquidity through tuning and intervening in our automated systems, all the way to shaping the next generation of execution logic and trading tools.

You’ll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with Quantitative Researchers, Quantitative Developers, and Software Engineers, and your decisions will directly drive how we trade across venues.

The role

Managing and monitoring Delta1 positions across multiple venues, owning the PnL and risk that comes with them

Reading live market flow, liquidity conditions, and market events, and translating that read into concrete trading and execution decisions

Tuning and parameterising our automated and semi-automated systems, and knowing when to step in to manage risk or capture an opportunity

Improving execution quality and market-making performance through data-driven analysis of strategy behaviour

Designing and specifying the trading tools, dashboards, and analytics that the desk relies on to make decisions

Collaborating closely with researchers, developers, and engineers to sharpen models, infrastructure, and execution logic, and shaping the roadmap for new trading initiatives

3+ years of experience as a Quantitative Trader and/or Quantitative Researcher in a professional trading environment, with demonstrated PnL responsibility on linear (Delta1) products across multiple venues

Hands‑on experience operating automated and semi-automated trading systems under live conditions: monitoring, tuning, and intervening when it matters

Strong analytical instincts: you can take a messy dataset of fills and quotes and turn it into a concrete execution improvement

A deep, intuitive grasp of market microstructure and the ability to explain why a strategy works, not just that it does

Proficiency in Python for analysis, tooling, and interaction with trading systems

An ownership mindset: being proactive, accountable, and comfortable making decisions with immediate financial impact

Clear written and verbal English, and the ability to communicate effectively with traders, researchers, and engineers

Nice to have

Exposure to systematic HFT and MFT strategies, ideally in Crypto Delta1 markets

What's in it for you?

A seat on a trading floor in the heart of Singapore’s CBD, where trading, research, and engineering are closely aligned with short feedback loops and direct impact on live PnL

Competitive compensation consisting of a base salary combined with a very attractive bonus plan based on individual and company performance

Outstanding performance is rewarded with the opportunity to buy into the trading fund

Company laptop, home office budget, and transportation allowance

An extensive in-house training program and an annual learning & development budget
