We are seeking an experienced quantitative developer to join the Investment Management & Research group at Winton.
The role sits within our Fundamental Commodities strategy, where you will work closely with the Senior Portfolio Manager. Within our collaborative environment, you will design and build the systems and tools that underpin the firm's trading and research.
Your focus will initially be on software development: adding functionality required for new trading strategies and maintaining the existing signal pipeline. Over time, you will become more involved in research, eventually running projects independently.
