Enhance execution algorithms, reduce transaction costs and improve trading performance.
Build and refine research tools, simulation frameworks and analytical infrastructure alongside engineering teams.
Monitor live strategies, analyse performance and continuously iterate on models based on real-world results.
Contribute to the development of scalable research processes and quantitative infrastructure.

Requirements

We're interested in candidates who demonstrate:

Strong programming ability, ideally in Python or another quantitative programming language.
A degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Engineering or another highly quantitative discipline.
Experience conducting quantitative research, systematic trading, machine learning or solving complex data-driven problems.
Excellent analytical skills with the ability to work from data to actionable insights.
A naturally curious mindset and a genuine interest in financial markets and algorithmic trading.

Previous experience researching or developing algorithmic trading strategies.
Knowledge of electronic market microstructure, execution algorithms or market making.
Familiarity with cryptocurrency markets, digital assets or broader financial markets.
