Job description

I’m working with a high-performing quantitative trading firm that is continuing to grow its derivatives teams across New York and Chicago.

With around 80 people and a decade-plus track record of strong performance, this is a lean, highly technical platform where traders have genuine ownership and a direct impact on the strategies they develop and trade.

They’re looking for Quant Traders with experience across intraday / HFT derivatives strategies to join an established team and help identify, develop and scale new trading opportunities.

You’ll have exposure to strategy research, signal development, execution and risk, working alongside experienced quants and traders without the layers you typically find at much larger firms.

Looking for:

• Quantitative trading experience, ideally HFT
• Strong Python and/or C++
• Strong quantitative problem-solving skills
