HFT Prop Futures/Equities Trader
This afternoon I spoke with the founder and CEO of an elite HFT prop trading firm who has expressed strong interest in expanding across the systematic HFT futures and equities spaces. This business presents an incredible opportunity to work in a highly competitive field within a brand name team.
The team is looking to hire experienced quant researchers to join their centralized trading pod in support of HFT/MM across equities, futures and options within the NY or Chicago areas. However, they also provide the opportunity for siloed portfolio managers/traders to take the next step in their career and manage capital independently.
