Junior Quant developer – high frequency recruitment

I am working on a search on behalf of a top US firm with an established London office.

They are looking to add a talented Junior quantitative developer to their high-frequency systematic trading team. The team is a small group of Quant developers, researchers and traders who are actively trading short term, systematic strategies across equities, options, futures and FX.

The team is small and very fluid, they allow open sharing of ideas and there is plenty of room for progression. Initially the role will focus around further development of the trading platform, and as a result they will be looking for very strong technical skills as well as a quantitative academic background.

The ideal candidate will possess:

- A top BSc/MSc (strong preference for 1st class) in a Quantitative subject from a world-class university (Engineering, Physics, Maths, Computer Science etc)
- Excellent programming skills in C++
- Capability to learn and understand complex Financial and Mathematical concepts
- Familiarity with other programming languages e.g. scripting
- Good communication skills - you will be expected to liaise with traders, quant research and IT on a regular basis
