Job Description

Quant Developer/Market Maker

The Company -
Our client is a small trading shop, whose founders have an extremely successful track records in all prior ventures in high Frequency trading. The core consists of small group of educated PhD scientists who came together to build trading models in multiple asset classes over the last decade. They were first challenged to finding non-random behavior in data sets as they tackled the FX market with new algorithmic trading and quickly separated themselves from everyone else in the market. That company was bought by a world leader in capital markets, and they moved into equities, and were successful as a prop trading shop for over 6 years, and was eventually bought as well. They are now onto their next venture they are looking to tackle the cryptocurrency market. As a trusted asset to every large financial trading desk through the years, institutions have expressed great interest in trading with them, and the firm provides crypto asset execution, trading, and advisory services to institutional clients, as well as making markets on various exchanges, as well as providing customized algorithms to split up trades. They are looking for a Quant Developer (Quant/Market maker) to join this team, and head up building the market making product. This person does not need crypto experience, but needs to understand the technical backbone of market making systems, market microstructure and the technical needs for setting up and monitoring strategies.


All systems are built from scratch and brand new. The competitive advantage is the model and brilliant combination of quantitative minds. They build their systems to be smarter, highly risk averse, rigorously tested and with a strict scientific approach to modeling.


The Role –
Starting as an Senior Quant Developer/Market Maker you will get a chance to get in on the ground floor in a low key environment and let data drive your decisions. This opportunity is for a top notch engineer with strong quantitative skills, to take a pragmatic approach and enjoy the flexibility of building something, in an environment where there is no red tape, or barriers to your creativity. It is a great opportunity for a Quant who wants to leverage technical/math skills to learn more about, and get into trading. Ideas for strategies are encouraged, and team will help you test and implement them.

This is an opportunity for you to work with elite minds as well as trade ideas, grow in knowledge and gain exponential earnings potential. The overall climate is for everyone to make money and go home satisfied. Flexible hours and telecommuting is offered.


Qualifications

¬ Experience working with high performance trading systems, specifically market making systems.

¬ FX is preferred over equity, because it translates better to the crypto-market.
¬ Strong Java/C# Programming
¬ Ability to develop systematic models from a mathematical approach
¬ Strong Math/Quantitative Skills and experience with Large Data Sets

¬ Top Tier Education – Masters or PhD (Math, Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Computational Finance)

Skills and abilities you will be finely rewarded, compensation greatly depends on experience, equity and salary will be based on value.
