My client is in charge of a quantitative hedge fund that trades proprietary securities in a methodical, process-driven manner. The company develops automated trading techniques that are either pure arbitrage or statistical in nature, with the goal of capturing market inefficiencies across a range of marketplaces and asset classes from a few milliseconds to longer time frames. The group has over ten years of experience effectively implementing quantitative trading tactics, and it later became a hedge fund.

Their responsibilities are very interdisciplinary because they operate at the nexus of technology, trade, and quantitative modelling. With offices all around the world, they trade on cutting-edge infrastructure to manage their high trading volumes.

  Verify that all necessary information and associated procedures are prepared for the trading day prior to the market opening.
  Periodically check strategy performance and behaviour during market hours.
• Degrees in mathematics, statistics, econometrics, financial engineering, operations research, computer science, and physics are examples of a quantitative background.
  knowledge of at least one major programming or scripting language, such as Python, Java, or C++.
• Excellent communication abilities and the capacity to collaborate with colleagues in various geographical locations.
