You’ll work closely with data scientists, software engineers, and financial analysts to translate theoretical models into practical solutions fast for our diverse portfolio of clients.
We are looking for Quant Traders that have developed a live trading track record and are looking to join a reputable fund to continue managing their own desk with related P&L responsibilities.
Our client, a small hedge fund that has doubled in size over the last year to $4Bn AUM, have improved their infrastructure substantially and therefore looking for shorter term horizon traders. The requirement is for those that have holding periods between 30 mins to 2 days and sharpe ratios above 2+ on their strategies.
Our client is a small systematic hedge fund located in New York. They have doubled in size in the last year alone, now managing assets upwards of $4Bn. They have started implementing a new build-out within the commodities function and now looking for a strong Quant Trader / Systematic Portfolio Manager to take the reins in their vertical. There is a particular interest in Energy right now – crude oil, electricity, natural gas, and wind power.
A mid sized systematic hedge fund at $4Bn AUM is now seeking a highly talented senior systematic execution trader to lead efforts and improve slippage firmwide. This role will directly support the portfolio management teams. They are looking for an experienced execution trader to help scale the overall systematic trading operations.
Multi $Bn hedge fund with a strong track record, institutional investor base, and a world class infrastructure are looking to hire an experienced analyst to become the number 2 in a successful team. You will be working on the core strategy alongside the PM and will be very influential to the performance of the portfolio, ultimately setting you up to build a track record and eventually moving into a PM position.
We would like to talk with candidates who have successful and scalable strategies for a variety of asset classes including, FX, Equities, Fixed income RV, Statistical Arbitrage, Long Short Equities, Macro RV, Futures, and related derivatives in the Global Market place.
We are working with an exciting smaller fund to seek both a junior and senior C++ developers who will be primarily working on systematic trading systems and core development. The opportunity is ideal for those who wish to work in a meritocratic setup with a huge amount of headroom for growth within the fund whilst it is in its earlier stages. The ideal candidate will be very well-versed in C++, have a knowledge of what tools are required for efficient development, and have an interest in algorithmic trading.
