About this role
Senior Quant Trader - Tier-1 Global Crypto Exchange (Hong Kong)
Our client is a tier-one global cryptocurrency exchange known for industry-leading liquidity, deep digital asset coverage, and high-volume trading infrastructure serving tens of millions of users worldwide.
To scale the next phase of their systematic trading business, they are hiring a Senior Quant Trader to own and run a profitable book across delta-one instruments — spot, perpetuals, and futures — spanning high-frequency liquidity strategies through to mid-frequency statistical arbitrage and cross-sectional alpha.
What You Bring to the Table
- Quantitative Pedigree: Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Statistics, or Engineering.
- Proven PnL Track Record: History of deploying and managing profitable systematic strategies, HFT/liquidity provision, mid-frequency stat arb, CTA/trend, or cross-sectional alpha — with the temperament to own a live book.
- ML & AI-Driven Research: Deep learning applied to financial time series (PyTorch/TensorFlow/JAX), plus hands-on use of AI agents and LLM tooling to compress the research loop.
- Statistical Rigor & Microstructure: Sharp command of overfitting, look-ahead bias, and regime shifts, across order book modelling for HFT and factor construction for cross-sectional work.
What’s in It for You
- Full Book Ownership: Own a meaningful book end to end, with direct PnL impact and real authority over risk and capital allocation.
- Elite Data & Infrastructure: Rich proprietary datasets, premium market data feeds, and high-performance research and execution infrastructure.
- Lean, High-Caliber Team: A flat, senior environment where your signals go live fast and your decisions genuinely move the book.
- Top-Market Compensation: Strong base, performance-linked bonuses, and meaningful crypto upside.
