Junior Traders – Computerised Hedge Fund – Fortune top 100 Company. recruitment
Opportunity to join a company HQ’d in New York, with offices in Palo Alto and Chicago. As a trader, you will work with software development teams, statisticians and quant analysts to analyse and look to exploit inefficiencies in highly liquid world financial markets. You will be mentored by senior members of staff and will learn about different approaches to systematic trading which vary massively, from complex strategies using massive data-sets to look for trends in markets that can be used to predict future price movements, through to more simplified approaches that utilise complex technology to take advantage of minute discrepancies and opportunities that exist for seconds or micro-seconds before disappearing.
In order to work in this environment, it helps to have a creative, analytical mind compounded by knowledge of programming, mathematics and statistics.
Successful applicants typically have finished near the top of the class in their bachelor’s or master’s degree (or PhD) and will have studied a “hard” science subject such as Math, Engineering, Statistics, Computer Science etc.
