Front Office Pricing Quant - Elite Systematic Trading Firm
I’m working with one of London’s fastest-growing systematic trading firms, looking for an experienced Front Office Pricing Quant to join their quantitative research team.
The team is building a new in-house derivatives pricing library, responsible for developing the models and analytics that support pricing and trading decisions across multiple asset classes.
The role will focus on researching, designing, and implementing pricing models, working closely with traders and researchers to take quantitative ideas from initial development through to live production. You’ll have the opportunity to shape a critical part of the firm’s trading infrastructure while working on complex derivatives problems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
