We are partnered with an ambitious, rapidly growing proprietary trading startup founded five years ago. With a fully self-developed intraday statistical trading platform, they trade WTI, RBOB, Natural Gas, Gold, and S&P futures directly on the CME. The firm has been live for six months with 30–40% net monthly returns and is preparing to expand its portfolio and strategy offerings.

Role Purpose:
We are seeking an Algorithmic Trader to join a small, high-performing team. The successful candidate will develop, support, and implement new strategies, enhance our existing statistical trading models, and contribute to expanding the firm’s intraday trading capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop, implement, and optimise quantitative and algorithmic trading strategies across multiple asset classes (WTI, RBOB, Nat Gas, Gold, S&P futures).

  • Collaborate with the existing coding team to maintain and improve the proprietary trading platform.

  • Identify new opportunities to build and expand the trading portfolio.

  • Support live trading, monitoring performance, risk, and execution metrics.

  • Engage with brokers and external partners (e.g., Stonex) to optimise trading efficiency and execution.

  • Maintain robust risk management practices and ensure compliance with internal guidelines.
