Overview

We are looking for a Senior Quantitative Trader to develop, deploy, and manage trading strategies across a range of markets.

This is a senior, market-facing role focused on idea generation, execution, and risk-taking. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, working on strategies across financial, event-driven, and probability-based markets.

The role is suited to individuals who have a demonstrated ability to generate edge and manage risk in competitive environments.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop and run systematic and semi-systematic trading strategies

  • Identify and exploit inefficiencies across financial and event-driven markets

  • Manage risk, capital allocation, and position sizing

  • Analyse performance, refine strategies, and iterate continuously

  • Work with researchers and engineers to improve models, execution, and infrastructure

  • Contribute to the development of new markets, approaches, and areas of focus

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience trading or developing profitable strategies

  • Strong understanding of probability, statistics, and market behaviour

  • Ability to operate independently and make decisions under uncertainty

  • Experience with data analysis and programming (Python or similar) is beneficial

  • Track record of disciplined risk management

We are looking for individuals who can generate and sustain edge, not just ideas.

What You’ll Gain

  • Direct ownership of strategies and capital allocation

  • Access to a range of markets, including non-traditional and event-driven environments

  • The ability to operate with speed and flexibility in a lean structure

  • A performance-driven environment with minimal bureaucracy

Environment

  • Small, high-calibre team

  • High degree of autonomy and accountability

  • Ideas are tested quickly and evaluated on results

  • Focus on performance, discipline, and continuous improvement
