Quantitative Developer – Systematic Trading (Tier 1 Front Office Team)
Location
: NYC / Chicago

Quick reality check.
Or are you building strategies that actually deploy capital?
This role sits inside a fully systematic trading business. No discretionary overlay. No “PM intuition.” Every decision is model-driven. Every system is built to trade.
If it doesn’t improve performance, it doesn’t stay.
What You’ll Work On- Build and scale research pipelines across equities, FICC, credit, and volatility
- Develop and product ionise alpha models
- Design portfolio construction and optimisation engines
- Improve execution and signal integration across global markets
- Partner directly with quantitative researchers on live capital
This is a hedge fund inside a hedge fund, autonomous capital allocation, tight feedback loops, measurable impact.
You won’t be supporting traders.
You’ll be part of the engine.
You’ll Fit If- Strong in Python and/or C++
- Comfortable with large-scale data and statistical modelling
- Care about optimisation, robustness, and performance
- Prefer systematic decision-making over narrative-driven investing
- Want your work evaluated by PnL, not presentation decks
- Bachelors degree in a STEM field
Finance experience helps. Not mandatory.
Strong CS fundamentals are.
If your current role removed your name from the roadmap tomorrow… would anything meaningful change?
In this environment, it would.
If that sounds like the kind of accountability you want it's worth a conversation.
