Job description

European Market Expansion | HFT / MFT | Build-Out Leadership Role

We are partnering with a globally recognised, technology-led proprietary trading firm to find an exceptional individual to lead their European quantitative trading and research effort from London.

This is a rare opportunity. An already high-performing HFT/MFT team with a proven track record and substantial infrastructure is expanding into European markets. They need a leader to establish and build the London operation from the ground up.

The Role:

  • Establishing and leading the European systematic trading and research function in London.
  • Developing alpha-generating strategies adapted for European market microstructure across equities, futures, and/or FX
  • Hiring, mentoring and building a high-calibre team of quant researchers and traders in London.
  • Collaborating closely with the existing US team — leveraging proven infrastructure, models, and technology while applying them to European opportunity sets.
  • Taking P&L ownership of the European book from an early stage.

Requirements:

  • Deep quantitative trading experience at a top-tier HFT, MFT, or systematic trading firm — you understand how alpha is generated and decays at high and mid frequency
  • Strong academic background in mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics, or a related quantitative discipline
  • Experience trading or researching European markets — understanding of European exchange microstructure, trading hours, and data landscape
  • Leadership experience or strong evidence of the ability to hire, develop, and inspire a team
  • Excellent Python and/or C++ skills — you are technically hands-on and credible with engineers and researchers
  • The entrepreneurial mindset required to build something, not just run something

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

The infrastructure is already built. The edge is proven. This is not a startup risk, it is an institutional platform with serious capital behind it, entering a market where the team has high conviction. The person who takes this role will have the backing of a mature, profitable US operation and the autonomy to build the European chapter in their own image.

Compensation is highly competitive and structured to reflect the significance of the role and the P&L opportunity.
