Quant Researcher / Trader (Systematic Strategies)
Location: Singapore (Relocation supported)
We are working with a global trading firm with over two decades of experience, now expanding its systematic footprint across both traditional and digital asset markets.
With established teams in the US and Europe, the firm is rapidly scaling its Asia platform and deploying systematic strategies across equities, futures and crypto, adapting proven approaches from traditional finance into new markets.
You will join a lean, high-impact team, working closely with senior leadership in Asia and directly contributing to the research, deployment and optimisation of systematic, primarily delta-neutral and linear strategies across APAC markets and major crypto venues.
What you'll be doing:
- Research, monitor and refine systematic trading strategies across equities, futures and digital assets
- Adapt existing models to local market structures in APAC (i.e. India, Japan, Taiwan etc.)
- Work closely with senior traders to implement and scale strategies in production
- Analyse large datasets to identify inefficiencies and improve execution / performance
- Play an active role in expanding the firm's footprint in new and evolving markets
What makes this opportunity different:
- Immediate impact on PnL - operate much closer to live trading and strategy performance from day one, rather than being siloed in a large platform
- High exposure and ownership - work directly with decision-makers and contribute to strategy rollout in new markets
- Strong technical environment - the team includes highly experienced professionals from leading global trading firms, bringing institutional-grade infrastructure and research processes
- Cross-asset exposure - opportunity to work across both traditional markets and crypto, applying systematic approaches across asset classes
- Clear progression path - high performers can grow into managing strategies or running diversified books over time
Requirements:
- 2-5 years of experience in a quantitative research or systematic trading role
- Strong programming skills (Python essential; C++ or similar a plus)
- Experience working with systematic / linear strategies (equities, futures or crypto)
- Solid understanding of market microstructure and data analysis
- Ability to work closely with traders and contribute in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
