Job Description
We’re looking for quant-minded strategists who value the power of interdisciplinary knowledge and cooperative thinking. Quantitative Strategists are seated at the heart of our trading floor, constantly communicating with others and connecting ideas from trading, quantitative research, and technology. Through our education program and exposure on our trading floor, you will be equipped to dive deep into data sets and explore the dynamic intricacies within the game of trading.

The general life cycle of a quant project begins with an idea:
  • To assess the strength of that trading signal, you will run it through our backtesting environment and carefully analyze its performance.
  • Some of those ideas will turn into new quant projects, and the life cycle starts all over again.
  • This idea can come from anyone: you, the mentor who sits beside you, or someone you meet in the cafeteria.
  • If that signal produces profitable results, you will work side-by-side with technologists and put it into production.
  • As your trading strategy evolves, you will discuss with other researchers, strategists, and traders to collect feedback and brainstorm new ideas.
  • As a Quantitative Strategist, you will investigate that idea by immersing yourself in market data, leveraging tools in mathematics, statistics, and programming.
  • Through your research, you may discover a new pattern that can transform into a trading signal.
  • Once that signal is embedded in our electronic trading strategies, you will actively monitor its real-time performance in the financial markets.

What we're looking for
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • Demonstrated interest in strategic games and/or competitive activities
  • Excellent logical reasoning
  • Solid, analytical problem-solving skills
  • PhD or Master’s degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Economics
  • Exceptional communication skills, both in the ability to understand others and to make yourself clearly understood
  • Experience in writing code to process and analyze large sets of data

By applying to this role, you will be automatically considered for the Quantitative Researcher position. There is no need to apply to both positions in order to be considered for both.

Visa sponsorship is available for this position.
