Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Susquehanna Pacific Full time

About Us

Susquehanna Pacific is a global quantitative trading firm founded by a group of friends who share a passion for game theory and probabilistic thinking. We have incorporated this approach into our culture, where you will find relentless problem solvers within each of our core disciplines: Trading, Technology, and Quantitative Research.

We are experts in trading essentially all listed financial products and asset classes, with a focus on derivatives trading. Through market making and market taking, we handle millions of trading transactions around the world every day, providing liquidity and ensuring competitive prices for buyers and sellers. While our presence in the market is broad, our trading desks are highly specialized, allowing for a deep understanding of unique drivers of each asset class.

Overview

We're looking for quant-minded strategists who value the power of interdisciplinary knowledge and cooperative thinking. Our Strategic Quantitative Traders combine the skills of quantitative research with the knowledge of trading to develop new electronic strategies and monitor real-time performance.

Your Role

The general life cycle of a quant project begins with an idea:

  • This idea can come from anyone: you, the mentor who sits beside you, or someone you meet in the office.
  • As a Strategic Quantitative Trader, you will investigate that idea by immersing yourself in market data, leveraging tools in mathematics, statistics, and programming.
  • Through your research, you may discover a new pattern that can transform into a trading signal.
  • To assess the strength of that trading signal, you will run it through our backtesting environment and carefully analyze its performance.
  • If that signal produces profitable results, you will work side-by-side with technologists and put it into production.
  • Once that signal is embedded in our electronic trading strategies, you will actively monitor its real-time performance in the financial markets.
  • As your trading strategy evolves, you will discuss with other researchers, strategists, and traders to collect feedback and brainstorm new ideas.
  • Some of those ideas will turn into new quant projects, and the life cycle starts all over again.

Career Development Opportunities

We have a comprehensive orientation program designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry. Education topics include an introduction to options pricing, exposure to our proprietary data sets, and opportunities to practice data analysis techniques. Beyond orientation, our trading floor serves as an unlimited source of discussion for learning and development.

What We Offer

Our estimated salary range for this position is $120,000 - $200,000 per year, depending on experience. In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a range of benefits including private healthcare and gym allowances, plus wellness initiatives. You will also receive highly competitive remuneration, attractive bonus, and additional leave entitlements.

Requirements

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • Honours or Master's degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Economics.
  • Solid, analytical problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent logical reasoning.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both in the ability to understand others and to make yourself clearly understood.
  • Experience writing code to process and analyze large sets of data, especially in Python.
  • Experience in C++ or other low-level programming languages is a plus.
  • Demonstrated interest in strategic games and/or competitive activities.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
