Position: Senior Quantitative Trader – Systematic Alpha & Execution

We are actively seeking a high-calibre

Systematic Quant Trader

with a strong alpha pedigree, capable of full lifecycle strategy ownership from signal research to execution implementation within a high-throughput, multi-asset environment. The ideal candidate operates at the intersection of

alpha signal generation, execution microstructure, and portfolio construction , and brings a demonstrated ability to generate uncorrelated PnL at scale.

Role Overview:

The trader will be responsible for deploying

research-driven, fully automated trading strategies

across equities, futures, or liquid macro products. You will manage

real-time signal ingestion, risk-normalised portfolio weights, and execution logic under latency constraints , with direct access to infrastructure, capital, and bespoke research tooling. You are expected to manage the

entire research-to-production pipeline , including alpha mining, regime modelling, transaction cost estimation, and performance attribution.

Core Responsibilities:

Design and deploy

alpha-generating strategies

across stat arb, medium-frequency, and short-horizon signals using advanced statistical and ML techniques (e.g. Bayesian optimisation, tree-based models, PCA, feature orthogonalisation).

Conduct high-resolution

tick-level market microstructure analysis , including order book dynamics, spread capture, adverse selection models, and queue position management.

Implement

execution frameworks

leveraging smart order routing (SOR), schedule-based execution (VWAP/TWAP), and custom execution algos sensitive to real-time volatility and liquidity.

Manage and monitor

risk-adjusted capital allocation

via volatility targeting, signal de-correlation, turnover optimisation, and capacity-aware constraints.

Interface with quant researchers and low-latency engineers to productionise models, calibrate execution engines, and deploy code into live environments under strict performance SLAs.

Backtest and stress test strategies using

multi-threaded simulation engines

across multiple data regimes (pre/post-fee, post-TCA, slippage-aware).

Proactively identify signal decay, latency arbitrage windows, execution drag, or regime shifts through ongoing analytics and internal tooling.

Required Expertise:

5–10+ years

of live trading experience in systematic alpha trading, ideally within a prop, HFT, or multi-manager hedge fund model.

Demonstrated track record of

persistent alpha , ideally with Sharpe > 1.5 over multiple market regimes and statistically significant out-of-sample PnL.

Proficient in

Python, C++ (or Rust), KDB/Q , with experience in distributed computing environments and event-driven architecture (e.g. Kafka, Redis, custom OMS/EMS).

Expertise in

real-time signal execution integration , from model inference to order routing under millisecond-level latencies.

Strong grasp of

execution cost models

(Almgren-Chriss, propagator models), and working knowledge of

optimal execution theory .

Advanced quantitative training — MSc/PhD in

applied mathematics, statistics, CS, or financial engineering

from a top-tier institution.

Preferred Edge:

Experience running

delta-neutral, cross-sectional, or market-neutral books , across APAC, US, or global hours.

Familiarity with

multi-model ensemble frameworks , feature pipelines, and online learning applications.

Demonstrated ability to manage

drawdown and regime-specific tail risk

using real-time diagnostics and alpha/risk overlays.

Understanding of

exchange microstructure

in major venues (CME, Eurex, HKEX, SGX, Nasdaq, LSE).

Strategic capital allocation based on signal quality, strategy orthogonality, and turnover constraints.

Performance-aligned payout structure with potential for

P&L share, team lift-outs, or principal platform structures .

True autonomy in research and execution, with collaborative support from engineering, quant dev, and TCA teams.
