High Frequency trader / HFT quant researcher – $500K + recruitment

My client has co-location at stock exchanges in Chicago, New York, London, Asia and Latin America and is active on futures, options, FX and equities. Further they are currently using the latest infrastructure technology using a microwave network. This gives them access to the lowest possible latencies well below 10 milliseconds round trip.

They have a very attractive formulaic payout structure offering up to 50% of PL. This payout is without common measure to the payouts at most of the major trading firms active in HFT. This should clearly be a golden opportunity for a trader with a strong algorithmic trading track record.

Culturally my client has a very transparent, very straightforward modus operandi with no politics. The people involved in this business are the kind anyone would enjoy working with on a daily basis.

We are interested in seeing top candidates to present to this client. Experience at one of the top 6 high frequency trading firms or a top quantitative hedge fund would be highly desirable. You should have at least two years experience, a strong track record and an ability to implement a set of proprietary strategies. Offices are Chicago based - there is no possibility of trading remotely. A developer can be arranged if required.

We are also interested for this role in developers who have portable intellectual property.

We understand you may be concerned about taking risks with your current employment situation by contacting a recruitment firm.
