<p><strong>Junior Quantitative Trader – Delta One (Asia-Pacific)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Location: Sydney, Australia</strong></p>
<p><strong>Qube Research &amp; Technologies (QRT)</strong> is a global quantitative and systematic investment manager operating across asset classes and geographies. We combine data, research, technology, and trading expertise to deliver scalable, research-driven investment strategies.</p>
<p>We are growing our <strong>Delta One trading desk</strong> in Sydney and are looking for a new member of the team to help shape its direction. This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, ambitious team with meaningful scope for ownership and impact from day one.</p>
<p>The role sits at the intersection of trading, research, and technology — you will be actively involved in all three, rather than specialising in a single function. On any given day, you may be operating live trading systems and managing risk, researching and developing new signals, or improving the infrastructure the desk runs on.</p>
<p>As the platform grows, you will play a key role in expanding the desk across Asia-Pacific, with a long-term ambition to build capabilities in markets globally.</p>
<p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Trade Delta One products, including ETFs, futures, and equities, across Asian exchanges, delivering efficient execution and competitive pricing</li>
<li>Operate and monitor systematic trading strategies across a range of horizons, from high-frequency trading to longer-term positioning</li>
<li>Research and develop alpha signals using market microstructure, flows, and cross-asset data, in collaboration with quantitative researchers</li>
<li>Build and improve trading infrastructure in collaboration with engineers and developers</li>
<li>Identify and capitalise on relative-value and arbitrage opportunities</li>
<li>Monitor market structure, liquidity, product developments, listings, and regulatory changes across Asia-Pacific markets</li>
<li>Contribute to the ongoing development of the desk’s trading capabilities, systems, and processes as it scales</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Your Profile</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Experience in trading, quantitative research, or a related quantitative role</li>
<li>Strong quantitative and probabilistic thinking, with an intuitive understanding of expected value and risk/reward trade-offs</li>
<li>Experience in systematic trading, market making, proprietary trading, or quantitative research; direct Delta One experience is advantageous but not essential</li>
<li>Comfortable working with electronic trading systems and making data-driven decisions</li>
<li>Curious about markets and motivated by both research and implementation — from identifying an opportunity through to production</li>
<li>A builder mindset: you enjoy improving strategies, tools, and processes rather than simply operating within established frameworks</li>
<li>High attention to detail, ownership, and accountability</li>
<li>Clear and effective communicator who collaborates well across trading, quantitative research, and engineering</li>
<li>Comfortable in a fast-growing environment where not everything is defined and priorities will evolve as the desk scales</li>
<li>Programming experience with the ability to work with data and translate ideas into practical trading solutions</li>
<li>Strong quantitative foundations, typically demonstrated through a degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Economics, Finance, or a related discipline</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why Join QRT</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Join an ambitious, fast-growing Delta One trading desk</li>
<li>Take on meaningful responsibility and have direct impact on strategy, trading, and desk performance</li>
<li>Work at the intersection of quantitative trading, research, and technology</li>
<li>Collaborate in a flat, high-performance environment with experienced global teams</li>
<li>Access cutting-edge data, tools, and global trading infrastructure</li>
<li>Help build and scale trading capabilities across Asia-Pacific and, over time, global markets</li>
