Quantitative Trader

About the Company

The firm operates across automated market making, OTC trading and treasury management, with a small, high-calibre team and direct exposure to live markets and real capital.

About the Role

This is a build-focused quantitative seat—not an execution-only trading role. The successful candidate will develop trading signals, models and algorithms, improve automated strategies and help the desk expand into new markets.

Responsibilities

• Research, develop and test quantitative trading signals and systematic strategies
• Build and improve models, algorithms and automated trading logic
• Backtest ideas and perform scenario, walk-forward and performance analysis
• Monitor strategy behaviour, risk, exposures and P&L attribution
• Develop Python tools supporting research, pricing, risk and execution systems
• Collaborate with senior traders and engineers on infrastructure and data pipelines
• Translate quantitative findings into practical trading decisions
• Contribute ideas for new products, strategies and market opportunities

Qualifications

• 1–4 years of experience in quantitative trading, quantitative research or a closely related role
• Previous experience at a market maker—crypto-native or traditional—is essential
• Demonstrable experience building trading signals, models or algorithms; execution-only profiles are not suitable
• Crypto or digital-asset market knowledge and experience
• Strong Python programming skills
• Strong analytical, statistical and quantitative problem-solving ability
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment

Required Skills

• Systematic or algorithmic market-making strategies
• Options, derivatives, volatility modelling or OTC products
• Crypto market structure, including centralized exchanges, perpetual futures and liquidity dynamics
• Risk management, stress testing and scenario analysis
• A degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, engineering or a related quantitative discipline
• C++ or another programming language in addition to Python
