Leading Prop Trading Firm
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.

- Full automation around deployment and monitoring of a 24/7 trading system
- Continuous profiling of trading system and strategy latency
- Understand and reverse engineer exchange architectures
You will be part of a small development team that shares the responsibility of the whole trading stack. As you own the code, deployment and all tooling, you can rapidly and safely iterate on changes to the trading software.
Developers collaborate directly with traders and researchers, allowing for immediate reaction to market changes and fast iteration of live trading engines
