Algorithmic Trader (multiple openings)

Geo Alpha Greater London, England, United Kingdom

Geo Alpha is a research-led trading business. Our algorithms are at the cutting edge of the machine learning opportunity frontier and stem from our roots in experimental science. We trade these signals using fully-proprietary 24hr automated trading systems.

Our London team is currently in an expansion phase, with multiple openings. We are looking for experienced practitioners or relevant PhD grads to lead several key new projects that will ultimately underpin the evolution of the business.

As a small team with a flat hierarchy, we work together on projects ranging from researching, designing and implementing data-driven trading strategies, to building the tools and infrastructure needed for fully-automated 24hr trading across multiple asset classes.

Key aspects of the role include:

• Researching new trading signals using statistics and machine learning
• Performing tactical and strategic analysis to support existing trading systems
• Implementing robust, performant code to ensure timely flows of data and signals
• Presenting work to colleagues and other stakeholders
• Taking ownership as “point-person” for specific strategies or markets

Essential skills required are:

• Research (independent and collaborative), using statistics and data analysis in Python
• Electronic/algorithmic trading experience, or relevant PhD research
• Experience of coding in an object-oriented style (e.g. in C++)
• Experience with scientific computing and algorithm development
• Experience of enterprise-level software development in a shared codebase
• A background or interest in building large-scale, real-time, and distributed applications
• The flexibility and dynamism to join in supporting a 24hr trading business
