Houston, United States Harrington Starr Full time

My client, a very well established systematic proprietary trading firm, is looking to hire a Quantitative Research Scientist to join their Houston office.

The company

The firm was founded in Houston more than 20 years ago, and now has offices across the United States. They are focused on US and Global Equities, and specialise in high frequency and mid-frequency trading.

  • You will have a STEM degree, preferably a Master's or a PhD from a notable university
  • You will live in, or be willing to move to Houston, TX
  • You will have right to work in the U.S., or an existing H1B visa

If you or someone you know is interested in this role, please apply directly, or reach out to celia.dodds@harringtonstarr.com to organize a confidential conversation.
