High Frequency Quant Traders – Leading Hedge Fund – NYC (great packages incl. % of PnL) recruitment
My client is one of the world’s most prominent hedge funds, with a reputation as one of the leading players in the systematic trading space. With cutting edge trading systems, built and are maintained by their army of technologists, they offer the opportunity to maximise profits and minimise costs and ultimately improve their traders’ PnL. The traders work together to exploit each other’s knowledge in a collaborative group. They trade across asset classes across most of the world’s electronic markets.
The ideal candidate will have 2+ years experience developing fully automated trading strategies (ideally intraday – though they will entertain candidates with experience in longer holding period provided the background is a match). The benchmark is high. They are interested in candidates with PnL of $5m+ and Sharpe Ratio in excess of 4. Although academics are not a specific requirement, there is a preference for quantitative backgrounds. Mathematical skills are expected to be high and it is preferred for candidates to be able to develop their strategies (the environment in C++/Python, but they are happy to take candidates with experience in different languages if they are willing to learn).
This is an opportunity to work in a firm that prides itself on its environment, with a platform that will help maximise profit. Furthermore they are prepared to make very generous offers to the right candidates – including strong basic salaries, % of profits and potentially sign ons/guarantees where required.
