Job description

We are a global multi-strategy investment team that strives to uncover opportunities to generate consistently strong returns in a complex world.

Culture: Values of collaboration, curiosity, and excellence. Teams operate with freedom and ownership, challenging the status quo.
Work environment: Small team mentality with institutional resources – “startup velocity” within a large firm. Cross-team interactions are encouraged.
Remote/hybrid/office policy: Not explicitly stated, but roles are listed for specific office locations (London, New York, Salt Lake City, Abu Dhabi), suggesting in-office presence.
Notable perks: Investment in training and mentorship; sponsorship of prestigious mathematics competitions; involvement in charitable activities (e.g., Great Ormond Street Hospital).
Engineering culture: Strong emphasis on quantitative development, infrastructure, and low-latency systems. Tech stack includes bash, Linux, SQL, Unix, C/C++.

Mission or purpose statement: "We build technology enhanced by human insight to trade global markets" – combining institutional strength with startup velocity to find opportunities others may miss.

Multi-Strategy Trading: Systematic, quantitative, and discretionary/fundamental strategies across global markets. The firm uses Bayesian statistics and human judgment to identify opportunities.
Technology Infrastructure: Proprietary trading platform designed for speed and scalability, enabling rapid deployment of new strategies.
Research & Development: In-house quantitative research, fundamental analysis, and software development teams collaborate to refine trading models.
