Job description

Anemoi is hiring a fully remote Senior Systematic Trader — U.S. Equities based in the Chicago, IL area to own daily oversight and continued improvement of systematic U.S.-equity trading. The opening is designed for Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules.

Compensation and Benefits

Base salary: $225,000–$325,000 USD, based on experience
Work arrangement: Fully remote; applicants must be based in the Chicago, IL area
Experience: 7+ years
Additional compensation: Performance-bonus and equity eligibility based on role and level

About the Role

The Chicago, IL position owns live strategy supervision, exposure limits, execution review, incident response, and controlled production experiments. Its working schedule covers Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.

Chicago Operating Focus

The Chicago opening emphasizes derivatives-aware review, pre-open preparation, and controlled live-market escalation. The Central Time window connects overnight futures behavior, the equity open, listed-derivative activity, and the afternoon cash close in one working day. The role must separate information that transfers across instruments from relationships that only appear during a short regime. Any production response needs an owner, a limit, and a review time. For this role, that means direct ownership of live equity exposure, execution quality, escalation, and post-trade review during Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules.

First Review Cycle

The initial Chicago, IL review combines Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules with a controlled examination of live equity exposure, execution quality, escalation, and post-trade review. Each material observation needs a source, a time, and a defined owner. The first evidence set will cover this task: Work with research on production experiments and post-trade review. The second will cover this task: Monitor strategies, exposures, limits, and execution quality. The Chicago opening emphasizes derivatives-aware review, pre-open preparation, and controlled live-market escalation. Each material deviation receives a named follow-up owner. The closing summary must show whether the evidence supports a change or only further study. It must let another specialist evaluate live strategy supervision, exposure limits, execution review, incident response, and controlled production experiments without private context.

Responsibilities

• Monitor strategies, exposures, limits, and execution quality
• Investigate slippage, drift, and unusual market behavior
• Define escalation and controlled-shutdown procedures
• Work with research on production experiments and post-trade review
• Own live equity exposure, execution quality, escalation, and post-trade review during Central Time coordination across cash equities, listed derivatives, and both coastal schedules.

Required Qualifications

• Seven or more years in systematic trading or electronic markets
• Direct experience with U.S.-equity execution and market structure
• Calm, documented decision-making under live-market pressure

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supervising multiple systematic strategies in production
• Knowledge of broker controls, market incidents, and trading-system recovery
• Experience collaborating across time zones while maintaining the operating coverage assigned to the Chicago, IL opening.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision plan options with substantial company support
• 401(k) plan with company matching
• Flexible paid time off and company holidays
• Paid parental and caregiver leave
• Annual learning, conference, and professional-development budget
• Remote-work equipment and home-office support
• Performance-bonus and equity eligibility based on role and level

Benefits are subject to plan terms and eligibility requirements.
