Job Description :

Spark Digital Trading is seeking a Quantitative Researcher to develop alpha signals for our London-based systematic crypto trading operation.

This is an alpha-focused role. We trade across a range of frequencies. You will be involved with the entire scope of the signal generation process including :

• Data sourcing, cleaning, and setup
• Cutting-edge data modelling and statistical analysis
• Real-world implementation

Prior experience in all of these areas is not required. As a small firm, you will work closely with senior management and be exposed to the full research lifecycle, enabling you to rapidly expand your capabilities and impact. You will have significant flexibility in setting your own research agenda, so we expect candidates to bring their own ideas for generating alpha in digital asset markets. A candidate who provides a description of their signal concepts will have an advantage in our evaluation process. A live trading track record is not required, but you should be ready to discuss your ideas. Experience working with alternative data or large datasets is a plus. Do not submit anything that is confidential or proprietary.

The best candidate will have good software skills and be able to handle the full signal generation process on their own. They will also demonstrate creative flair in their ability to source new datasets and invent new signals. We will provide capital and infrastructure to maximize the profit potential of the signals you work on.

The Quantitative Researcher opportunity is located in our London office in Marylebone but does not require in-office presence every day. You will have significant flexibility in setting your own hours. We are able to sponsor eligible candidates for Skilled Worker visas. Compensation will exceed market average and includes profit-sharing.

Spark Digital Trading (UK) LLP is a London-based quantitative trading firm founded in 2022 with institutional financial backing. Spark Digital deploys quantitative strategies in digital asset markets. We give our small team the freedom to innovate and invent. We are distinguished by our superior trading, our focus on innovative research, and our multifaceted group of professionals, all of which has enabled us to readily achieve profitable performance.
