Quantitative Developer

Geo Alpha is a research‑led trading business. Our algorithms are at the cutting edge of the machine learning opportunity frontier and stem from our roots in experimental science. We trade these signals using fully proprietary 24hr automated trading systems.

Our London team is currently looking to add a quantitative developer to our team. We are looking for experienced practitioners or relevant PhD grads with some industry experience to lead several key new projects that will ultimately underpin the evolution of the business. Previous experience in Object Orientated Programming as well as the development of data‑intensive workflows is required for this role.

As a small team with a flat hierarchy, we work together on projects ranging from researching, designing and implementing data‑driven trading strategies, to building the tools and infrastructure needed for fully automated trading across multiple asset classes.
