Description

My team is working with the Head of Quant Research of a global systematic market making desk who is seeking a Quantitative Researcher to join his high‑performing, globally distributed team responsible for building and maintaining the models that support market making, pricing, and risk across a broad set of Delta One and related products.

This is a hands-on, front-office quant role requiring deep product knowledge, production-quality engineering capability, and strong intuition for how models behave in live markets.

You will work directly with senior quants and traders to develop pricing models, enhance automated market-making frameworks, and evaluate real-time market dynamics across highly liquid instruments. The role requires physical presence in NYC due to the nature of cross-team collaboration and real-time trading support.

Key Responsibilities -

Quantitative Research/Modeling

• Build, implement, and validate production-grade pricing models for Delta One products and related derivatives.
• Develop and maintain stochastic models, Monte Carlo frameworks, particle filters, and auction pricing algorithms.
• Support systematic market-making initiatives, including improvements to risk, pricing, and automated quoting models.
• Conduct factor modeling and statistical analysis to diagnose model failures and improve forecasting accuracy.
• Write high-quality, production-ready Python code used directly in pricing and trading flows.

Product Knowledge

• In-depth understanding of Delta One products and their real-world trading behavior.

Professional Background

• Experience from a market making desk, prop trading group, or hedge fund strongly preferred. Candidates from banks are acceptable if they have direct pricing and market-making exposure.
• Strong academic background in engineering, applied mathematics, physics, or related technical fields.

• A thinker with strong market intuition, not just theoretical knowledge.
• Someone who thrives in a small, elite team and wants meaningful ownership.
• Ideally 5+ years of experience
