Strong research is at the very core of their activities. They are expanding aggressively, both in their main software offerings and in new areas of quantitative trading. Quants will be performing fundamental research in topics relevant to high-frequency trading, including execution optimization, risk management and trading strategies. They will participate actively in the development and implementation of results from their research..

A successful candidate will:
* Be very smart, curious and interested in quantitative finance.
* Have solid mathematical training. We prefer at least a master’s
degree in physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering or
the physical sciences.
* Be an excellent programmer—and even more important, enjoy

trading algorithms better and faster than anyone else, so we
don't have a strong divide between research and development.
