- Execution Systems: Develop and maintain low-latency trading execution systems across equities, derivatives and digital assets.
Required Qualifications
- Strategy Experience: A proven track record of working with fully systematic high-frequency trading (HFT) or medium-frequency trading (MFT) strategies, including backtesting and execution.
- Programming Skills: Proficiency in C++ and Python, with an emphasis on developing systematic research tools, implementing quantitative systematic strategies in production environments and optimising performance.
- Industry Experience: At least three years of relevant experience, with a strong understanding of systematic strategies, market microstructure, order types and execution venues for futures markets, particularly CME.
- Academic and Analytical Background: Expertise in mathematics, statistics or computer science, supported by strong numerical programming skills and experience with libraries such as NumPy and SciPy.
- Quantitative Techniques: Experience with statistical modelling, signal processing or machine learning applied to trading systems would be advantageous.
