Options Quant Researchers | Hong Kong
Aquis is working with a leading global proprietary trading firm that is making a significant push into APAC options and is looking for exceptional quantitative research talent.
A major focus is India options, and they are particularly interested in researchers coming from Indian HFT / proprietary trading firms — including strong early-career talent from smaller platforms.
Ideal candidate will have:
• 0–4+ years in Quant Research / Strategy
• Strong mathematical and technical foundations
• Experience researching signals, pricing, microstructure, execution or systematic strategies
• B.Tech / M.Tech / PhD backgrounds in CS, Mathematics or related quantitative disciplines
• Top-tier academic pedigree and exceptional problem-solving ability
• Options experience is highly relevant, but the technical and research bar matters more than bringing an existing strategy
The core identity needs to be that of a researcher.
What makes the opportunity particularly interesting is the development path.
Early-career quants can spend time in the US for training, working alongside senior researchers with decades of options experience. The APAC quant platform has roughly doubled over the past few years and continues to expand across modelling, market microstructure, execution research, systematic trading and monetisation.
Researchers work directly alongside traders and can gain exposure beyond India into Hong Kong, Korea and other APAC markets.
Relocation & sponsorship: Available for exceptional candidates
