About the Role

An London-based proprietary trading firm building a research and engineering team is seeking a highly motivated Quantitative Developer to join the team as an Quantitative Researcher (QR). In this role, you will build dependable research platforms, market-data systems, and trading technology as part of the firm's quantitative engineering team.

This is an ideal opportunity for students and recent graduates who are passionate about software engineering, performance, market data, distributed systems, and quantitative finance. The work combines quantitative development, Python and C++ engineering, market data, low-latency systems, and algorithmic trading infrastructure. You will work closely with experienced traders, quantitative researchers, and engineers to learn how modern strategies, models, and trading systems are designed, tested, and implemented.

The team is small, technical, and collaborative, with direct access to experienced traders, quantitative researchers, engineers, high-quality market data, and modern research infrastructure.

This remote role is open to candidates based across Europe.

- No prior quantitative finance, trading, or investment-industry experience is required.

- Strong attention to detail, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
