What You Bring

• Experience in systematic trading or a quantitative hedge fund (non-negotiable)
• Strong technical grounding in data pipelines, warehouses, and cloud-native tooling
• Comfort working across trading, research, and engineering functions
• Ability to measure the commercial value of data and prioritise accordingly
• A strategic communicator who can champion a clear data vision

Why This Role

You'll be joining at a moment where the firm is investing heavily in data as a core driver of alpha and innovation. This role offers both ownership and influence and the chance to build something foundational for years to come.
