Client: Rapidly growing quantitative investment firm
Compensation: $250,000- $500,000
Location: Not Specified

Overview
Our client is an exciting, rapidly growing quantitative investment firm building a next-generation trading platform from the ground up. Backed by experienced portfolio managers and technologists, the fund is now live and trading, and is looking to add a high-calibre Execution Algorithms Developer to play a pivotal role in its continued growth. This is a rare opportunity to join a lean, entrepreneurial environment where execution quality is mission-critical and where your work will have a direct and visible impact on P&L.

The Role
You will take ownership of the firm’s equity execution algorithms, contributing across the full lifecycle — from strategy design through to live deployment. Working closely with traders and quant researchers, you will help refine and scale a production execution platform already connected to prime brokers and actively trading.

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop, enhance, and maintain live equity execution algorithms in a production environment.

• Own integrations with prime brokers and external execution venues.

• Take algorithms from research through testing and into live trading.

• Work directly with portfolio managers and quants to optimize execution performance.

• Monitor live execution, analyse performance, and iterate rapidly in a startup setting.

• Ensure robust, scalable, and well-controlled execution infrastructure.

• Contribute to the evolution of the firm’s trading architecture as it grows.

Requirements

• Proven experience building and deploying equity execution algorithms that are live.

• Hands-on experience connecting to prime brokers (FIX or equivalent).

• Strong programming skills (Python, C++, Java, or similar).

• Deep understanding of equity market microstructure and execution dynamics.

• Comfortable operating in a small, fast-moving startup environment with high ownership.

• Experience supporting live trading systems with real capital at risk.

What’s on Offer

• Join a quant fund at an early stage, post-go-live, with strong momentum.

• High visibility role with direct impact on trading outcomes.

• Flat structure, minimal bureaucracy, and genuine technical ownership.

• Competitive compensation with meaningful upside as the firm scales.

• Huge backers - roadmap to $1billion AUM over next 18 months

• Great bonus and equity potential
