The Role
We are looking for exceptional HFT Quantitative Researchers and Traders to work at the intersection of research, engineering, low-latency execution, creating alpha and monetising our deep-learning alpha alpha across a broad spectrum of markets, products, and asset classes.
Key Responsibilities
- Monetise core alpha through efficient execution strategies across futures and related products.
- Expand trading universes - identify and onboard new instruments within existing markets and work closely with BD to identify new opportunities and exchanges.
- Develop and refine execution logic - optimise market access, routing, and order placement to minimise slippage and latency impact.
- Collaborate closely with researchers, developers, and infrastructure engineers to bring models from research to production.
- Design and test short-term signals and execution algorithms to preserve alpha and reduce transaction costs.
- Monitor live strategies, diagnose performance drift, and implement continual improvements.
- Conduct PnL attribution and microstructure analysis to measure and enhance monetisation efficiency.
- Stay ahead of exchange microstructure changes and proactively adapt strategies to evolving market dynamics and market impact dynamics.
- 5+ years of experience in HFT or ultra-low-latency trading, ideally within futures markets (options experience is a strong plus).
- Proven track record in execution alpha monetisation - not just signal generation - you've taken models from idea to production.
- Deep understanding of L3 data, market microstructure, order book dynamics, and short-horizon predictive models.
- Hands-on experience in strategy deployment and productionisation, including calibration, risk controls, and post-trade analytics.
- Strong quantitative and programming skills - Python and C++ preferred; familiarity with distributed and low-latency systems advantageous.
- Knowledge of cross-exchange arbitrage, market making, or execution cost optimisation a plus.
- Highly analytical, commercial mindset with the ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced, research-driven environment
