4 days ago

Slough Berkshire, United Kingdom Augmentti Full time

Are you ready to be part of something truly special as the first quant developer for a brand-new trading team? In short: We're working with an elite global trading firm known for its success in high-frequency trading (HFT) but operating under the radar (they aren't the typical firm you hear about). They're setting up a brand-new trading desk in London, led by a top PM with a proven track record. This is a rare opportunity to be the first quant developer on the team and help shape the future of their trading stack with the freedom to innovate while sharing in the potential for massive rewards. What makes this unique? Exceptional Financial Upside: Think big – you're looking at compensation in the range of £500k, £750k, £1m+ as the team scales. This is your chance to join at the ground level and share in the upside of building an entire business. Build from Scratch: You'll have the autonomy to create an entire trading platform from the ground up, leveraging the firm's core infrastructure while optimizing system performance for high-frequency, low-latency trading. Work with a Humble Leader: You'll work closely with a brilliant PM who has a strong technical background (from reinforcement learning strategies to low-latency C++ coding) and a pragmatic, collaborative approach. This is someone who's not only mastered complex trading strategies but is also focused on building a team that thrives on open communication and shared success. Exciting, Startup Vibe – Without the Risk: This is a rare blend of startup excitement backed by the stability of a firm with a long track record of success in the global trading space. With multiple established offices around the world, the firm is known for its cutting-edge technology and a low attrition rate. No Tech Tests – Just Real Conversations: The process is designed to be a two-way street, with no leetcodes or timed tests. You'll start with an informal chat to explore fit and vision before diving deeper into the process. What You'll Bring: Expertise in Modern C++: You're an expert in C++ and can write low-latency code that powers high-performance trading systems. Understanding of Trading Systems: You understand trading systems (anything from packet-level exchange connectivity to improving the performance of strategy code) better than most. Passion for Building: You're excited by the opportunity to build something from the ground up, turning complex research and trading strategies into a robust and scalable platform. Collaborative Spirit: You'll work closely with the PM day-to-day, shaping not just the technology but the team culture. This is about building a successful system and a great place to work.
