  • Regular social events, including a company trip every two years.
  • Guided relocation, a competitive relocation package and visa sponsorship where necessary.

Who you are:

  • 3+ years trading experience in ETFs and/or Fixed Income within APAC; China Fixed Income exposure highly valued.
  • Deep knowledge of bond-market structure and how ETFs interact with the primary market.
  • Solid grasp of Fixed Income-ETF valuation, basket construction, liquidity sourcing and creation/redemption mechanics.
  • Proficiency in Python (or similar) for data analysis; SQL or C++ a plus.
  • Clear, concise communication style; ability to work closely with quants, technologists and external counterparties.
