| Job description |
My client is one of the leading players in the High Frequency trading space with a presence in Chicago, London and Singapore. With a developed and proven trading platform, they have the potential to improve strategy performance through leveraging their next generation platforms. Furthermore their connectivity to exchanges across the globe means that they are able to scale up their traders strategies across various international markets. They trade across asset class – anything that is exchange traded other than options. The firm operates with a flat and collaborative structure, encouraging their staff to work together to find unique and ground breaking strategies. In this role the successful candidate will work alongside an experienced PM who has mandate to trade Equities and Futures (and with plans to expand into the FX markets in the near future). He is looking for someone with at least 18 months working in an automated trading environment and a strong mix of technical (with knowledge of C++ critical) and mathematical skills (time-series analysis, regression and monte-carlo especially). In addition to contributing towards the implementation, backtesting and optimisation of models, there is scope for original research with the end-goal of implementing new high frequency strategies. So there is a chance to get exposure to proven successful strategies as well as development of new ideas. This is therefore a great opportunity to learn from a very successful colleague in a great environment with clear defined goals, in a very stable environment with excellent compensation on offer.
