About the Role

The Company is on the lookout for a dynamic Director of Quantitative Trading and Strategy to spearhead the design, development, and scaling of automated trading systems. In this crucial position, you will own the architecture, models, and performance of our core trading engine, making a significant impact on revenue and trading volume.

As a successful candidate, you will build and optimize high-performance, fault-tolerant algorithmic trading systems, develop predictive models for pricing and market signals, and create real-time monitoring and analytics dashboards. An entrepreneurial mindset is key, as you'll work closely with the CEO to define priorities, identify new trading opportunities, and shape our overall trading strategy.

To qualify, you should have a minimum of 5 years' experience in quantitative trading, proprietary trading, or algorithmic strategy development. Deep technical proficiency in Python, SQL, and API integration is essential, alongside a robust background in real-time data engineering or trading system architecture. You must possess a solid understanding of market microstructure, risk management, and model evaluation, and demonstrate exceptional analytical and communication skills.

Experience in dynamic pricing, marketplace liquidity, or high-frequency commerce is a plus, as is a background in fintech, trading firms, or high-growth startups. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, capable of leading and mentoring a team, and will thrive in an environment that offers high autonomy and direct impact.
