Quantitative Trader/Researcher
I'm currently working on the buildout of a greenfield quantitative trading team based within a leading name of the Chicago prop space. My client has a strong track record of success particularly with market making strategies in index options and commodity options - thus is if you come from a strong quantitative background with front office exposure to these products and are excited at joining an emerging force, please let me know.
What will you receive?
- The platform to establish yourself in a growing team with deep institutional backing and resources (particularly from a tech/infrastructure perspective).
- Opportunity to join a growing team, establish yourself as a perennial member of what has already been a successful launch.
- Strong base salary and bonus in line with the market (individual context is significant)
What will you do?
- Research and deploy systematic market making strategies across index options and commodities.
- Employ a wholly quantitative approach, with some fundamental oversight - with that said overarching focus on systematising as much as possible
- Build out new teams/corners of the business as the opportunity strikes. This is an inflection point of the business and the focus on evolving it cannot be overstated.
What will you need?
- Demonstrated experience quantitatively trading index and/or commodity options (at least two years exp)
- Excellent academic background; strong understanding of statistics and probabilities
- Strong coding experience (python)
- A desire to contribute to growing a business through researching and deploying highly profitable algorithmic trading strategies.
If this sounds like something you could be interested in, please let me know either by applying or send me a mail to oli.knight@harringtonstarr.com
