London


Our client, a leading prop trading firm based in London, are looking for a Quant Developer to join their high-performance team.


As a quantitative developer, your aim is to improve the firm's trading stack in any way that will make its trading strategies more competitive and profitable.

  • Continuous profiling of trading system and strategy latency
  • Understand and reverse engineer exchange architectures

Developers collaborate directly with traders and researchers, allowing for immediate reaction to market changes and fast iteration of live trading engines
