Our client is looking to add a couple of quant developers and strategy developers to their team. They would like to see someone that comes in with their own original strategies and has a solid history of success with them. They are willing to back a strong strategy with capital and will compensate you commensurate with the success of the strategy. Work will include programming out the strategy in C++ and/or research and backtesting in Python. The owners have said that they are quick to implement good ideas. They will program a strategy in the morning, and have it running in the afternoon. This position is for someone who wants to make a lot of money and have their ideas and work rewarded.
Qualifications:
- 4+ years in a strategy/ development role in low latency trading
- Advanced degree in Mathematics or Statistics (or related field)
- Proficiency in Python and C++
- Experience sitting on a trading desk and working side by side with quant traders
- Understanding of various aspects of trading (i.e, "calls","puts", etc.)
- Track record of optimization and validation of strategies
- "Sophisticated quant" with experience throughout the various levels of a trading firm (specifically the front office)
Heavy experience in quant trading and strategy development is strongly recommended for consideration.
