Senior Quant Developer

🚀 Senior Quant Developer (OTC) | London

We’re partnering with a global institutional liquidity provider at the forefront of digital assets and traditional finance.

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-performing OTC pricing team, working at the intersection of quantitative research and production engineering, building systems that directly impact pricing, liquidity, and trading strategies across global markets.

💡 The Role

As a Senior Quant Developer, you’ll operate as a true hybrid between Quant Research and Engineering — designing models and owning their production implementation.

You’ll work across a dual-language stack:

• Python for research, modelling, and data analysis
• Java for building high-performance, distributed pricing systems

This role is deeply embedded in the trading lifecycle, with direct impact on:

• Client pricing optimisation
• Flow analysis
• Automated hedging strategies

⚙️ What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and implement quantitative pricing and hedging models within a high-performance Java framework
• Partner closely with Quant Researchers to develop alpha signals and pricing logic
• Work with large-scale datasets to optimise spreads and pricing strategies
• Build and deploy systems across multi-region, distributed architectures
• Develop automated hedging algorithms balancing execution risk and liquidity
• Analyse client flow and toxicity to improve pricing performance

🧠 What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in Java (5+ years) — high-performance, distributed systems
• Advanced Python skills (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy) for quantitative modelling
• Experience applying numerical optimisation or machine learning to trading/pricing problems
• Background in algorithmic trading, client pricing, or liquid markets (FX, equities, ETFs, or crypto)
• Strong academic foundation in Mathematics, Physics, or Quant Finance

➕ Nice to Have

• Experience with KDB+/Q
• Exposure to AWS, Docker, Kubernetes
• Understanding of low-latency systems
• Knowledge of derivatives pricing and risk (futures, forwards, CFDs, NDFs)

🌍 Why Join

• Work on production-critical systems used globally, 24/7
• Direct influence on pricing, trading, and revenue-driving systems
• Join a team bridging traditional finance and digital assets
• Highly collaborative environment with strong quant + engineering alignment
• Competitive salary + bi-annual bonus structure

If you’re a Quant Developer who enjoys building as much as modelling, and want to work on real-world trading systems at scale — this is one to explore.
