Overview
This Market Making Quantitative Researcher role involves working across systematic trading analytics, risk modelling, and tactical decision support within a dynamic, multi-asset trading desk (crypto, FX, indices, and derivatives). The position is hands-on, situated at the intersection of trading, quantitative research, and data engineering—ideal for individuals passionate about transforming data into real trading impact. The role requires close collaboration with risk, trading, and dealing teams to build analytics, backtesting frameworks, and systematic signals that support dealer P&L, optimize hedging and market-making, and enhance flow classification.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and run backtests on trading, hedging, and risk strategies, evaluating P&L impact, risk limits, and capital usage.
- Build and validate models for client classification, flow toxicity, and market-making signals (using both rule-based and machine learning approaches).
- Develop dashboards and tactical decision tools for traders and risk managers, including position monitoring and “what-if” analysis tools.
- Analyze spot, derivative, and structured product flows across crypto, FX, indices, and derivatives.
- Partner closely with traders, dealers, risk, and data teams to translate market needs into quantitative frameworks and actionable analytics.
Requirements
- Prior experience in systematic or algorithmic trading, market-making, or desk quant roles.
- Crypto exposure is a plus (not mandatory); backgrounds in FX, futures, or equities are also welcome.
- Strong Python programming skills (SQL required; Spark or similar technologies are a plus).
- Proficient in backtesting, time-series/statistics, and risk/P&L analytics.
- Experience building tools or dashboards for traders/dealers.
- Familiarity with flow analysis, market-making, or trade surveillance.
Why Join Us
- Gain exposure to multi-asset trading and risk across both crypto and traditional markets.
- Engage in quantitative work that directly impacts P&L and trading outcomes.
- Work within a small, agile team with opportunities to innovate and take ownership of core quant infrastructure.
- Opportunities to learn new markets and technologies while advancing your quant career.
