You will get the unique opportunity to join a fully automated front office electronic trading team, developing low-touch algorithms and centralising execution activities across the firm, one of the biggest energy trading players on the market. 

Here’s what the job entails

In this role, you will get to run end-to-end algorithmic trading processes, taking your ideas from research, through implementation, and to live algo maintenance. Your focus will be to ensure that our algorithmic execution stack continues to be best in class, and to develop and execute on market microstructure driven strategies. Another key aspect of this role will be to engage in the continuous improvement of our trading platform; here you might propose new solutions and contribute to best engineering practices, working together with best-in-class engineers.  

Concretely, your areas of responsibility will include the following: 

• developing microstructure driven strategies used for algorithmic execution and proprietary trading 

• ensure high performance, stability and scalability of algorithms that consume vast amounts of data and operate in a low-latency / high-throughput environment 

• analyse and benchmark algorithmic performance using strategy level metrics and transaction cost analysis  

• conduct research that aims to train, test, monitor and simulate quantitative trading strategies  

• continuous enhancement of our algorithmic trading stack by proposing new ideas and challenging how we work today

We are a team of quants that work closely with software developers, data engineers, and traders. We take a scientific approach to solving problems, fostering an environment of innovation and collaboration.  

But enough about us… over to you!
