Hedge Fund Execution Trader recruitment
Company Description
The next-generation hedge fund. For over a decade, our outstanding people, many of whom have PhDs, have been developing the next generation of technologies, ideas, and strategies. We have been highly successful because of both our technically superior strategies and our brilliant people. We have a close-knit group, distinguished by their interest in our shared success, half of whom are graduates from Harvard, MIT, and Cornell. This lucrative synthesis of human and machine cognition in an intellectually rich, supportive environment is at the core of Spark. We use high performance real-time systems in a Linux environment. All submissions kept confidential.
Job Description
We have a rare opportunity in our trading group for an experienced addition to our small team. As we expand in both global reach and asset classes, we’re looking for someone who can handle the responsibility of trading for a successful fund that still wants to achieve more. The Execution Trader will be responsible for trading our proprietary quantitative strategies both in the US and abroad; experience in foreign markets is a plus, but the right candidate must be willing to trade European hours during their tenure.
Whether you are dealing with trades that are new for the team or with one of the lucrative and established strategies that has already proven successful, you may need to launch and maintain external relationships, you must be able to handle decisions involving people and technology with millions of dollars on the line, and you would be responsible for the orders and execution of a profitable book. Our company has very low turnover, so we’re looking for someone with speed, accuracy, and integrity that can be an accountable team player as we grow and evolve, someone who could bounce back from any tough trades to continue making a positive impact at our firm. You can improve your trading skills here while making a guaranteed base and bonus with strong upside potential.
Can you figure out how to best execute a trade? Can you handle getting a lot of data input without being flustered? If so, apply to join our stable team trading a strong strategy.
