An opportunity exists for a developer within a quantitatively driven prop trading team. The desk trades across multiple asset classes and all strategies are fully systematic and fully automated. 

A proportion of the role will involve maintaining, supporting and improving existing systems and strategies.

The other main focus will improve execution to reduce slippage and market impact - this area will be key to facilitating growth in the desk going forward.

This is an opportunity to join an established, but growing team where ideas are shared openly among software engineers and quantitative traders. Your contributions can make a big difference to the future success of the team. As such, we are looking for a developer that is able and willing to contribute to other areas beyond their immediate responsibilities.
