Chicago, United States Harrington Starr Full time

Quantitative Trader/Researcher


I'm currently working on the buildout of a greenfield quantitative trading team based within a leading name of the Chicago prop space. My client has a strong track record of success particularly with market making strategies in index options and commodity options - thus is if you come from a strong quantitative background with front office exposure to these products and are excited at joining an emerging force, please let me know.


What will you receive?


  • The platform to establish yourself in a growing team with deep institutional backing and resources (particularly from a tech/infrastructure perspective).
  • Opportunity to join a growing team, establish yourself as a perennial member of what has already been a successful launch.
  • Strong base salary and bonus in line with the market (individual context is significant)


What will you do?


  • Research and deploy systematic market making strategies across index options and commodities.
  • Employ a wholly quantitative approach, with some fundamental oversight - with that said overarching focus on systematising as much as possible
  • Build out new teams/corners of the business as the opportunity strikes. This is an inflection point of the business and the focus on evolving it cannot be overstated.


What will you need?


  • Demonstrated experience quantitatively trading index and/or commodity options (at least two years exp)
  • Excellent academic background; strong understanding of statistics and probabilities
  • Strong coding experience (python)
  • A desire to contribute to growing a business through researching and deploying highly profitable algorithmic trading strategies.


If this sounds like something you could be interested in, please let me know either by applying or send me a mail to oli.knight@harringtonstarr.com
