Quantitative Trader

Full-time

Anson McCade

Quantitative Trader - HFT/Intraday Strategies - Equities/Futures/Options

Anson McCade have partnered with a proprietary trading firm which actively trades arbitrage and market making strategies across cash and derivatives markets. This firm trades on key exchanges such as CME, ICE, and Eurex, and has ultra low-latency infrastructure with low cost structures for these venues. The firm is looking for experienced Quant PMs/Traders to set up desks where they will plug into the firm’s platform with the goal of trading independently in return for a PnL-based % payout which scales with realized Sharpe.

The Role:

  • Set up/lead a team of high-frequency or intraday Quant Researchers/Traders, or manage your own strategies independently.
  • Research, implement and monitor systematic strategies, manage your own book.
  • Work with developers to improve/maintain infrastructure and put new strategies into production.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience as a Quantitative Trader, researching and trading systematic strategies in cash or derivatives markets.
  • Strong coding abilities in Python. C++ is valued, but not a dealbreaker.
  • Experience leading/managing a team at another fund or a sellside market making team is ideal.
