Mustard Systems - Quant Team
The Quant team at Mustard Systems create predictive models that are globally recognised as best-in-class. We use cutting-edge statistical methods to model cricket and trading strategies, often developing our own techniques.

We're looking for talented individuals to join our team.
What you can expect?
- To research recent advances in modelling to better extract signals from noisy data
- To join a close-knit, collaborative team of mathematicians and enjoy a high level of responsibility from an early stage
- To design and build your own models using your own ideas
- To work closely with expert traders and developers to improve your models
- Learn to build the best models from experienced quants
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.
