Quantitative Trading Firm
Our client, a leading quantitative trading firm, is seeking an experienced High-Frequency Trader to join their team in Geneva. The ideal candidate will have a strong track record in ETF and futures trading, though experience in equities or options will also be of interest.
Key Responsibilities:
- Run and manage a high-frequency trading book, with focus on ETF, futures, or related markets.
- Develop, implement, and refine short-term alpha and execution strategies.
- Collaborate with researchers and developers to optimise performance and execution.
- Adapt and scale strategies to new instruments and markets.
Requirements:
- Proven success trading ETFs, futures, equities, or options in a prop trading or hedge fund environment (buy-side only).
- Hands-on, execution-oriented trading background, not purely research-focused.
- Experience running a desk or managing a PnL-driven book.
- Programming skills (e.g., Python, C++) are advantageous but not essential.
- Strong adaptability, commercial mindset, and ability to operate autonomously.
- Open to being based full-time in Geneva, Switzerland. London will also be a future consideration.
