About the Client
Our client is a top-tier hedge fund run by engineers backed by a renowned multi-billion family office.


Using cutting edge technologies and complex algorithms, they analyse petabytes of structured and unstructured data to trade in a way which is impossible for humans.

Their trading is entirely automated. The team is focused on solving complex and challengingproblems that grow their business.

They have a huge amount of new work to do: new markets, new instruments, new data, new execution venues.

It would be an exciting opportunity to join the team and be a part of growing the business and delivering tangible results within a quant developer position.


The role
The role has a variety of core responsibilities as well as project opportunities and will evolve as the business grows


Sample tasks could be:

  • Contribute to the development of our technology and automation of routine tasks.
  • Improve execution/alphas through back testing/analysis.
  • Onboard and organise new data sets.
  • Help launch new strategies and model.
  • Learn, try and implement new technologies (we love open source).
  • Proactively deal with monitoring alerts and help develop the monitoring platform.
  • Provide support for issues.
  • Design and implement trading infrastructure, build data analytics tools or develop real-time execution strategies.
  • Work on complex computational and data related problems. Implement efficient and innovative solutions.
  • Build tools and engine that enhance our ability to analyse data and contribute to improve workflow.
  • Support post-trade activities to aid effective clearing and accurate record-keeping.
  • Development and maintenance of all our systems, including Linux servers and desktops, databases, storage solutions, etc.
  • Significant programming experience is a must, as is a genuine passion for solving complex problems through programming.
  • You enjoy coding, rather than considering it just a tool, but want your code to have real world results and effects.
  • You have strong communication skills and a simple, down-to-earth style when articulating your ideas.
  • You're self-directed and can effectively and independently manage your time across various projects.
  • You're honest, reliable and take pride in your work.
  • You're enthusiastic, driven to develop your skills and open to new ideas.
  • You're flexible, adaptable and can jump from individual contributor to collaborative team member.
  • We deliver in a Linux environment, mainly in C++ and Python, and embrace grid computing. Skills and knowledge here would be very helpful, but not essential.
  • Ideally you will have a strong undergraduate degree in a numerate discipline from a top-tier university.
