Why This Is a Great Opportunity
- Work on cutting-edge quantitative research that directly powers automated trading in highly competitive global markets.
- Partner closely with traders, software engineers, and fellow quants to design, test, and deploy strategies end-to-end.
- Choose a focus aligned with your strengths: alpha modeling or execution/microstructure optimization.
- Senior-level path for candidates with 3+ years of relevant experience and a strong track record.
- Competitive base salary plus meaningful performance bonuses, relocation support, and strong benefits in a top-tier trading hub.

- Analyze and optimize system performance, including latency, stability, and execution quality.
- Conduct historical research and back-tests using large data sets and database tools.
- Communicate market developments, model behavior, and research insights to traders and other stakeholders.
- For modeling-focused work: design automated market-making and risk management algorithms, and build statistically driven position-taking strategies.
- For execution-focused work: perform post-trade analysis, investigate system behavior, optimize algorithm parameters, study market microstructure, and drive execution system improvements.
Qualifications
- 2+ years of full-time, professional experience in a quantitative research, trading, or high-performance technology role, ideally at an algorithmic trading firm or similar environment.
- Degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, or a closely related quantitative field.
- Ability to write and maintain clean, organized, object-oriented Python code; C++ experience is a plus.
- Proven experience in at least one of the following: options and volatility modeling, statistical analysis on large data sets, or diagnosing and optimizing algorithm logic in latency-sensitive or high-throughput distributed systems.
- Expertise working with MySQL or similar databases for historical research and back-testing.
- Passion for innovation and solving open-ended, data-rich problems.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical ideas clearly.
- Collaborative attitude with a competitive drive and comfort with metrics-based performance evaluation.
- Practical, production-focused mindset with a track record of delivering impactful solutions.
- Ability to work on-site in the Chicago office on a full-time basis.
