Senior Quant Developer – (Leading Hedge Fund)
Compensation: Market‑leading, uncapped total package
Location: London
A top‑tier hedge fund is hiring multiple Quant Developers across two high‑impact front‑office groups: STF (Strategic Trading Framework) and PCG (Portfolio Construction Group). Both roles sit close to trading, demand exceptional engineering capability, and offer genuinely uncapped earning potential.
Concise Takeaway
Two front‑office Quant Dev roles:
- STF: Build ultra‑robust trading frameworks enabling traders to express portfolios as code.
- PCG: Engineer risk, scenario, and portfolio‑construction methodologies across all asset classes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Both require elite coding, commercial acumen, and direct desk interaction.
Key Focus Areas
- Performance engineering — speed, stability, resilience, scalability
- Python for high‑performance analytics and tooling
- Distributed systems design and optimisation
- Direct interaction with Traders/PMs to translate strategy needs into production‑grade systems
- Commercial mindset and strong interest in financial markets
Requirements
- 6–10 years Quant Dev / front‑office engineering experience
- Deep Python expertise
- Strong distributed systems knowledge
- Experience designing analytical or risk systems
- Ability to partner closely with traders and work with senior stakeholders
- Finance experience ideal; market interest essential
- Degree in Computer Science or Mathematics from a top university

Why These Roles Stand Out
- Uncapped compensation with top‑of‑market earning potential
- Front‑office impact — everything you build directly affects PnL and risk
- Technical ownership across architecture, design, and delivery
- Exposure to elite traders, PMs, quants, and risk leaders
- Opportunity to shape firm‑wide trading and risk infrastructure
