Working at Wintermute
We are looking for an Algorithmic Trader with strong quantitative and Python skills, good trading instincts and a curiosity about algorithmic trading, high-frequency trading, liquidity provision and digital assets. You will take ownership of P&L-impacting trading projects from an early stage, working closely with experienced traders and developers across our global trading team. After an initial training period, you will be given significant independence and responsibility. You will analyse large amounts of trading and transaction data, identify opportunities, build and improve trading strategies and develop solutions based on your findings. There are no legacy systems, multiple layers of approvals or rigid boundaries between trading, analysis and development. You will be encouraged to identify opportunities, build solutions and make an immediate impact. This is primarily a trading and business role rather than a pure research role. We are looking for people who enjoy combining quantitative analysis, coding and commercial decision-making to drive P&L.
