Susquehanna International Group, Quantitative Research

*** this position has been closed. ***
Position Description
Overview
We’re looking for quant-minded strategists who value the power of interdisciplinary knowledge and cooperative thinking. Quantitative Strategists are seated at the heart of our trading floor, constantly communicating with others and connecting ideas from trading, quantitative research, and technology. Through our education program and exposure on our trading floor, you will be equipped to dive deep into data sets and explore the dynamic intricacies within the game of trading.
The general life cycle of a quant project begins with an idea:
·
This
idea can come from anyone: you, the mentor who sits beside you, or someone you
meet in the cafeteria.
·
As
a Quantitative Strategist, you will investigate that idea by immersing yourself
in market data, leveraging tools in mathematics, statistics, and programming.
·
Through
your research, you may discover a new pattern that can transform into a trading
signal.
·
To
assess the strength of that trading signal, you will run it through our
backtesting environment and carefully analyze its performance.
·
If
that signal produces profitable results, you will work side-by-side with
technologists and put it into production.
·
Once
that signal is embedded in our electronic trading strategies, you will actively
monitor its real-time performance in the financial markets.
·
As
your trading strategy evolves, you will discuss with other researchers,
strategists, and traders to collect feedback and brainstorm new ideas.
·
Some
of those ideas will turn into new quant projects, and the life cycle starts all
over again.
What we’re looking for
·
PhD
or Master’s degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics,
Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or
Economics
·
Solid,
analytical problem-solving skills
·
Excellent
logical reasoning
·
Exceptional
communication skills, both in the ability to understand others and to make
yourself clearly understood
·
Experience
in writing code to process and analyze large sets of data
·
Demonstrated
interest in strategic games and/or competitive activities
·
Ability
to thrive in a fast-paced environment
