QUANTITATIVE TRADING SUPERVISOR AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPER
Entry-level position at a statistical arbitrage hedge fund.
Fast-growing, technology-driven investment firm seeks a candidate for the entry-level position of quantitative trading supervisor and software developer. The primary responsibility is the supervision of the firm's automated trading systems in the Asian markets. The position requires physical presence at the company's office between 3:30 PM and 11:30 PM. This is a critical operations role that demands attentiveness, reliability, and strong quantitative decision-making skills. The other main responsibility is to maintain and enhance software for the company's reporting and back-office systems, which are built primarily with Python and SQL on Linux and process large amounts of trading data every day.
This opportunity offers strong performers the chance for substantial growth as well as hands-on experience with financial markets and software development. Because the firm is a startup with a small team, the candidate will have a high degree of responsibility, frequent interaction with top management and the founders, and broad exposure to many aspects of the company's operations. Candidates who perform strongly will also help develop trading-system software and infrastructure; they may carry out other projects such as researching new markets or investigating new financial data providers. The person filling this role will be well positioned for advancement within the company or future study at a graduate computer science or financial engineering program.
Join a team that includes professors at premier universities and Ph.D.'s from top schools, led by the founder and CEO of a successful Internet infrastructure technology startup. The firm researches and deploys statistical arbitrage trading strategies that are designed to generate attractive returns independent of overall market performance. The firm's offices are one block from BART and one block from campus in downtown Berkeley.
