Experienced Algo/Systematic/Quant Trader required for leading Proprietary Trading House – NYC or Chicago – Up to $275 base + PnL % + Package recruitment

Montash Associates has been retained by a leading Chicago based proprietary trading house to find an experienced Quant/Algo Trader to join their market leading team.

Due to the teams continued success they are looking to make an addition to the group, expanding their portfolio of strategies. They currently trade FX, Equities and Futures, and have connectivity to all relevant exchanges and have an excellent, well maintained infrastructure in place. They can accommodate a High or Medium Frequency trader.

There is a dedicated IT team supporting the traders, and they are really looking for someone to come with their strategies, plug them in and start trading immediately. The advantages of this organisation are that they have very, very reasonable costs and pay a generous percentage of PnL generated. The firm was formed by a group of quant traders that were dissatisfied with the deal they were receiving, so set up this firm as an alternative for experienced traders to excel in a stable environment and be rewarded accordingly.

They are open to the area that this individual wants to grow into. There are still a few areas of the markets that are unexplored, so there is also the opportunity for the right individual to build up a new area from scratch (e.g. High Frequency FX and Rates).

The core requirements for this role are:

• Algo trading experience – 2+ years

• High Sharpe ratio

• Excellent PnL history

• Strong programming skills

• Strong academic background

In return for this my client is looking to offer a base salary of up to $250k. On top of this the successful candidate will receive a generous percentage of the PnL that they generate. There will also be an excellent package, including private healthcare, pension contributions etc.

To apply, please send a copy of your CV to edwardb@montash.com or call +44 207 749 6066 for a confidential discussion.
