Quant Analyst for Direct Market Making group

Ultra high frequency equity trading group (DMM group) is hiring for a Quant Researcher to help with implementing trade ideas.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join as a key quant member of the group as there is currently only 1 senior quant there. You will work directly with him and learn how to generate ultra high frequency trade ideas. To start with, you will familiarize yourself with the existing strategies and work on optimising and implementing those. Ultimately, the goal is for you to generate your own ultra high frequency systematic trading models.

Requirements:

- 2 to 3 years experience working as a Quant Researcher/Quant Developer
- Previous exposure to high frequency trading is essential. You must come from a Market Making, Statistical Arbitrage or Algorithmic trading background
- Excellent programming skills in C++ and MATLAB are essential. While this is a quant role, you must be comfortable with programming as ultra high frequency trading depends on strong technical infrastructure and you will be involved in mathematical development work
- MATLAB skills or similar statistical tool
- KdB is strongly desirable
- PhD or Masters in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, Physics or similar hard science

If you are a strong mathematical developer looking for a route to developing your own quant strategies, send your resume to Kunjal Tanna at Huxley Associates immediately for consideration!
