At Wintermute, you will be responsible for your own “desk” right from the start. You will have the opportunity to develop your own product (trading algorithms, trading strategies), while also getting advice and guidance from very experienced traders and developers, including the founders/management team. You will get a lot of independence and responsibility right away, and you'll learn at an unprecedented speed! No legacy systems, no corporate bureaucracy, no multiple levels of approvals. It is up to you to make an impact. </span></div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size: 18px;">What will you work on</b></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">After a short training period, you’ll be tasked with improving existing strategies, adding new trading products and improving the technology behind our trading systems. You’ll need to analyze large amounts of trading and transaction data, generate insights, prioritize them and build solutions based on your findings. You can expect to be able to make an immediate impact on P&L and will be encouraged to explore new ideas and strategies. We will share more technical details in the interviews. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Note: we are looking for people with strong quantitative and coding skills, but this is a business/trading (not a research) role first and foremost. </span></div>
