Position Overview
We are seeking experienced Quantitative Developers to work closely with Traders and Quantitative Researchers to build the infrastructure powering semi-systematic trading strategies.
This role sits at the intersection of trading, quantitative research, and software engineering. The successful candidate will own trader-facing platforms and workflows, transforming trader insight and discretionary decision-making into scalable, systematic processes.
You will work directly with traders to understand how they generate ideas, manage risk, and execute trades, and will build the tools, analytics, and infrastructure that allow those workflows to operate efficiently and consistently. Strong communication skills and a genuine interest in trading are essential.
