What are the responsibilities and job description for the Quantitative Trader (Equities) position at Fintal Partners?
Quantitative Researcher (Equities)
High-impact systematic trading team
We’re partnering with a leading global trading firm that is actively building out its equities capabilities. This is a unique opportunity to join a growing, high-impact team focused on developing next-generation systematic trading strategies at the intersection of equities and derivatives.
The team is focused on combining expertise with predictive signals leveraging large-scale data and advanced modeling to drive trading decisions in highly automated, low-latency environments.
This is a role for someone who wants to do more than just research as you’ll have direct visibility into how ideas move from concept to production to PnL.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Analyze large, complex datasets to identify predictive signals in equity markets
- Develop and refine systematic trading strategies across equities
- Work closely with engineering to design and improve research and production frameworks
- Rapidly prototype and test new ideas (primarily in Python)
- Take ownership of the full lifecycle from research to live deployment
- Continuously enhance and expand existing models to unlock new sources of alpha
What They’re Looking For
- 3 years of experience in a quantitative research role within systematic trading
- Strong background in equity signal generation and predictive modeling
- Experience working with high-frequency or intraday strategies is highly relevant
- Proficiency in Python for research and prototyping
- Strong academic background in a quantitative field (e.g., mathematics, physics, computer science, financial engineering)
- Exposure to automated trading environments or market making systems is a plus
Why This Role
- High ownership: Direct impact on trading outcomes, not siloed research
- Collaborative environment: Tight feedback loop between research, engineering, and trading
- Strong infrastructure: Ability to scale ideas quickly into production
- Growth: Join a team in build mode, not maintenance mode
Salary : $500,000 - $4,000,000
