Quant Researcher/ Trader- FX, Futures, Rates- Automated- Mid Frequency Business- £200K++ recruitment

US hedge fund with a strong presence across the mid-frequency trading area is looking to appoint quant researchers to be fully involved in trading for their newly built London office.

The Firm

The group has got a strong background in the systematic and discretionary space but most recently have begun expanding their systematic business across Europe with newly built offices in London and Geneva. As part of this new build out they are looking for systematic researchers or traders to focus on expanding their European business across the FX, futures and rates markets. The group are looking to build upon their success across the intraday space but are keen to also speak to candidates that have between 2-5 years experience in researching, back testing or trading systematically across the longer horizons also. Candidates must have good technical and programming skills as well as a research driven personality to constantly innovate and bring new ideas to the table in a very research and technology driven environment. 

The Role

You will be working in a small sub-group within the larger organisation and focus on generating alpha in your chosen liquid space. This will involve working closely with senior and junior researchers and traders in designing and deploying systematic strategies. You will use your strong programming and mathematical modelling skills to generate signals and optimise trading strategies. By establishing price discrepancies across the financial markets you will then utilise your prior research skills and devise models to capitalise on the inefficiencies and generate alpha.

Ideally you will come from a background of researching or trading systematically and be interested in working for one of the fastest growing hedge funds in Europe with an established brand in the US. It is quite rare to be part of such an established firm looking to build out a new office from the ground up with the financial might and technology that they have.
