Quantitative Trader

4 weeks ago

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Susquehanna Pacific Full time

Susquehanna Pacific is a global quantitative trading firm founded by friends who share a passion for game theory and probabilistic thinking.

We're looking for quant-minded individuals with interdisciplinary knowledge and cooperative thinking skills to develop new electronic strategies and monitor real-time performance.

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

  • This idea can come from anyone: you, a mentor, or someone you meet in the workplace.
  • As a 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 back testing 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.

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

What we're looking for

  • A PhD 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 understanding others and making yourself clearly understood.
  • Experience writing code to process and analyze large data sets, especially in Python.
  • C++ or other low-level programming language experience is a plus.
  • Demonstrated interest in strategic games and/or competitive activities.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Salary: $120,000 - $150,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.

Benefits:

  • Market-leading education program.
  • Non-hierarchical culture allowing employees to thrive and have an impact.
  • Highly competitive remuneration and attractive bonus.
  • Private healthcare and gym allowances, plus wellness initiatives.
  • Fully stocked kitchen - daily breakfast and lunch.
  • Regular social, sporting, and community events.
  • Visa sponsorship and relocation package where required.

Interview Process: Apply -> Online Assessments -> Recruiter Interview -> Technical Interview -> Final Round Interviews -> Job Offer.
