Role Overview

Global mandates — New York · Chicago · Greenwich · London · Dubai · India · Hong Kong · Singapore

We are retained by several top-tier hedge funds and multi-strategy platforms building out their systematic and quantitative capability across the US, EMEA and Asia. These are live, funded mandates with genuine urgency behind them.

We are hiring across four areas:

Portfolio Managers — individuals and pods. Alpha-generating systematic and quant PMs with a verifiable live track record. We are mandated on both single hires and full team lift-outs, and our clients are equipped to move quickly on an established pod.

Quantitative Researchers. Signal research, alpha generation, portfolio construction and machine learning, across cash equities, futures, options and credit.

Quantitative Developers. Research infrastructure, backtesting frameworks, execution systems and production trading platforms.

Software and Systems Engineers. Low-latency and mid-frequency trading systems, exchange connectivity, market data and production engineering.

What our clients are looking for

  • Portfolio Managers: a verifiable live track record, meaningful capital managed, consistent profitability and a strategy with demonstrable capacity to scale
  • Researchers, developers and engineers: a minimum of five years within a systematic or quantitative environment, with real production or live-trading exposure
  • Current or recent experience at a hedge fund, multi-strategy platform, proprietary trading firm or market maker
  • Strategies you can move cleanly, without contractual or intellectual property complications
  • A genuine intention to move — these are serious processes and our clients engage seriously

We are not the right firm for candidates exploring the market casually, and we are not working on volume roles.

What is on offer

Substantial capital allocation with a clear path to scaling. Institutional-grade research, data and execution infrastructure. Compensation structures at the top of the market, built to reward compounding rather than a single good year. And for established teams, the support to move as a unit.

Discretion

Every conversation is confidential. Nothing is shared with any client without your explicit consent. If you are exploring quietly, an initial call carries no obligation and no exposure.


Platinum & Partners is a specialist systematic and quantitative search firm based in Canary Wharf, London, working exclusively with hedge funds, proprietary trading firms and asset managers.
