Job Specifications

We are partnering with one of London’s most selective and highest-performing quantitative investment funds to appoint a Quant Developer to their core systematic trading group. This is a confidential mandate for a team renowned for world-class engineering standards, scientific rigour, and a culture built around high impact and low ego.

The successful candidate will work at the intersection of quantitative research, data engineering, and high-performance software development — with code that moves rapidly from prototype to production and directly influences trading performance.

The Role

As a Quant Developer, you will:

Collaborate closely with quant researchers to productionise models and design scalable research/tooling infrastructure
Develop high-performance, robust code across Python and C++
Build and maintain data pipelines, research platforms, and components of the live trading stack
Optimise system performance, reliability, and throughput across large-scale datasets
Contribute to architectural decisions across the full research-to-execution workflow

What We’re Looking For

Exceptional programming skills in Python and/or C++, with a focus on writing clean, performant production code
Strong understanding of core CS fundamentals (algorithms, distributed systems, profiling, testing)
Experience in a systematic trading environment or quantitative data domain is highly advantageous, though not essential
A problem-solver with the ability to work collaboratively in a highly technical, research-driven environment
Humility, curiosity, and a desire to build systems that have real, measurable impact
Computer Science or STEM degree from a good university

Why This Role Stands Out

Opportunity to join a top-performing fund with a deeply technical culture
Work directly with elite researchers and developers on complex, meaningful problems
Highly competitive compensation with significant performance-based upside
Exposure to world-class infrastructure, datasets, and compute environments
A role where strong engineering truly drives investment performance

About the Company

Employers, hiring managers, recruiters. Everyone has one thing on their mind. Finding talented people. But… everyone's looking in the same places. At the same time. In the same tiring way. Traditional job advertising always targets the same people. The ones that are actively looking for a new job. The only thing is; the best talent is often taken. But just because they're not searching for a new job, doesn't mean they're not looking for one. What if you knew who's eager to switch jobs before they start looking? Welcome to Jo... Know more
