- Analyse fills, slippage, adverse selection, and market impact to continuously improve execution outcomes
- Work closely with quant researchers to translate research ideas into robust, production-ready trading behaviour
- Partner with engineers to diagnose production issues, improve system stability, and enhance trading infrastructure
- Contribute to post-trade analysis, performance attribution, and feedback into strategy iteration
- Ensure strategies operate within defined risk limits and respond appropriately to changing market conditions
Your Skills and Experience:
- Degree in a quantitative field (Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, or similar)
- 3+ years of experience in systematic equity trading, with direct exposure to live trading environments
- Strong understanding of market microstructure, order books, and execution dynamics in APAC markets
- Proven experience analysing execution quality, market impact, and intraday performance drivers
- Strong programming and data analysis skills (Python/C++ strongly preferred)
- Ability to make sound decisions under pressure and manage multiple live priorities simultaneously
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset
