About the role
Develop and maintain quantitative models for market impact, market volume, volatility, and execution strategy, using historical and intraday data to improve trading decisions and reduce execution costs. Collaborate with traders, brokers, portfolio managers, and other stakeholders to provide pre-trade recommendations, in-execution guidance, post-trade analysis, and clear reporting, while building reliable data infrastructure and Python tools. Requires a master’s degree or PhD in a quantitative discipline and approximately 3–8 years of relevant experience, although strong graduates are also encouraged to apply. Candidates should have strong quantitative and Python skills, familiarity with data-science workflows, an interest in trading and financial markets, and the ability to communicate research clearly; experience with SQL, PySpark, compiled languages, and market microstructure is advantageous.
