Opportunity for experienced Quantitative Researchers / Traders to join a reputable firm in the E-trading space.  3 opportunities exist within 2 different teams, focused on automated market making and high frequency systematic (prop) trading, respectively.  The prop trading group now has a huge capital base and offers an exciting opportunity for applicants with relevant experience.

Applicants are expected to have worked as part of a research team, contributing to a broader, aggregate research effort; or as an individual researcher working on personal individual strategies. You may be able to demonstrate a track record of strategies that have gone live in production and have a demonstrable PnL track record or may also have worked on research that may have yet to go into production.

Successful applicants will be presented with an opportunity to leverage the firm’s world-class infrastructure and will be able to earn according to the success of their own research, whilst have some downside protection in the form of some pooled PnL across the group. NB Sharpe Ratios in excess of 10 are wanted although candidates with ratios above 5 will be carefully considered.
