The firm combines advanced technology, quantitative research and sophisticated execution infrastructure to capitalise on opportunities across CME, ICE and EUREX. Built on a culture of innovation and efficiency, they offer traders a lean, high-performance environment with genuine autonomy free from the constraints of traditional institutional bureaucracy.
What Sets Them Apart
Highly competitive PnL splits of up to 50%, low clearing and exchange costs, and a plug-and-play proprietary platform built for ultra-low latency execution. CME membership provides traders with better market access and reduced fees. Decisions are made quickly and talented people are given the tools and freedom to operate at their best.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Systematic Futures Trader to build, own and run fully systematic trading strategies across CME and EUREX futures. This is a hands-on trading role, you will be responsible for strategy development, execution and ongoing performance, operating with significant autonomy within a lean, high-performance prop environment. Open to both HFT and MFT traders.
Key Responsibilities
Designing and implementing fully systematic trading strategies across CME and EUREX futures; managing intraday to short-term positions within firm risk parameters; writing and maintaining your own code in Python or C++ to build, backtest and optimise strategies; and continuously refining your approach based on real-time performance and market conditions.
Profile
3-5+ years as a systematic trader at a quantitative prop firm, hedge fund or bank. A live, verifiable track record of profitable systematic trading with strong risk-adjusted returns. Hands-on proficiency in Python or C++. Deep understanding of futures market microstructure, risk controls and execution. Alpha generated primarily from exchange and derived market data.
Compensation
Base salary in the range of $150,000–$300,000, with total earnings driven by a PnL split of up to 50%. Strong performers with a proven live track record can expect total compensation well in excess of $1M. Earnings are effectively uncapped for the right trader.
