  • Ability to apply technical skills in order to understand complex market forces and create robust future predictions
  • Enthusiasm for working in a growing team with a high level of collaboration across the entire end-to-end trading system
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • Portfolio construction / portfolio optimisation and prior signal research experience is a bonus
