As a (Junior) Quantitative Trader, you work directly in live trading: you monitor our automated strategies, accompany real-time market movements and bear responsibility for stable, clean operations in daily trading. Your work has direct influence on execution, system stability and performance. This means high concentration, real responsibility and a professional environment where decisions are measurable and count. Location: Düsseldorf (HQ-Office) Scope: Full time
Realtime markets in mind: You monitor our automated trading systems, evaluate market situations in real time on the basis of our models and thus contribute to the ongoing optimization of our trading engines.
Trade Monitoring & Communication: You actively explore the markets and agree closely with trading, research and technology when it comes to overarching trade decisions or special market situations.
Ensure execution quality: You make sure that orders and executions are executed correctly, efficiently and in the sense of the models in futures and FX.
Stability of the systems: With your high concentration capability, you take responsibility for stable, smooth processes of our trading systems – even in phases of high volatility.
Interface in the team: You work closely with our quantum researchers, traders and developers on a project-related basis and bring your observations from the live market directly into improvements of models and infrastructure.
Completed (specialized)higher education in the field of economics, mathematics, computer science, physics, engineering or a comparable qualification
You are focused, stress-resistant and can focus on you precisely over a longer period of time – even when markets are fast and hectic.
Embossed logical thinking and the ability to decide structured and rational even under time pressure.
Quick conception, readiness for responsibility and a high degree of self-initiative and ownership.
Basic knowledge of stock exchange trading and capital market products are desirable; first contact points with algotrading or systematic strategies are a plus.
You are proven to be interested in financial markets, market structures and pricing – ideally, you are already actively pursuing markets.
Coding identifiers (e.g. Python) are a plus, but not necessarily – important is that you can deal with data and numbers in a sovereign way.
Innovative technologies, small powerful teams and a quantitative FinTech environment will delight you.
Growing, highly specialized investment team based in Düsseldorf's city centre – short paths, direct access to decision-makers and experts.
Focus: Slender structures, direct communication, high professional standards and real impact of your work on the daily trade outcome.
Structured onboarding: You are closely related to our models, tools and processes and work early in productive setups.
Performance-oriented remuneration: competitive fixed salary with performance-dependent bonus – your performance and impact are to be rewarded.
Learning curve & development: Direct exchange with experienced quantum, traders and developers, insights into systematic strategies, backtesting, execution & risk models.
Team culture: We work as a small, ambitious team that shares knowledge, gives open feedback and wants to grow together.
