• Develop in Python and oversee integration of new signals into a Java-based e-trading platform

• Enhance and extend the existing quantitative framework through collaborative, production-level development

• Work within a dedicated algo team of four, supported by a wider pricing analytics group

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in developing trading signals, ideally within Rates

• Proficiency in Python; Java knowledge a strong plus

• Strong background in tick-data analysis and implementation of trading models

• Understanding of market-making analytics and the design of trading performance metrics

• Familiarity with interest rate markets (highly advantageous and accelerates interview process)

• Ability to work closely with traders, engineers, and quants in a front-office environment
