Job Specifications
Are you a Quantitative Developer with a passion for commodities and a desire to work directly with traders in a dynamic front-office environment?
This is an opportunity to bridge the gap between software engineering and quantitative development, joining a leading hedge fund to create the tools and models for trading desks.
In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with the commodities traders to design and implement solutions that drive trading performance.
From building pricing tools and market analysis platforms to creating risk management systems, your work will directly enhance the efficiency and decision-making of traders. You'll also be tasked with productionising quantitative models, ensuring they are robust, scalable, and seamlessly integrated into front-office workflows.
You'll need strong proficiency in C#, along with deep knowledge of commodities markets, particularly in areas such as gas, power, oil, and energy. Experience with curve construction, commodities pricing, and the development of pricing models is essential, as is the ability to demonstrate an understanding of market dynamics beyond P&L analytics.
This role is suited for those who thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy working alongside traders, and have experience within commodities.
If you’re ready to move your technical expertise to the forefront of trading and make a real impact in commodities markets, this is your chance.
