Trading Operations Analyst (Remote, Europe)

About our client

We are a technology-driven quantitative investment firm running systematic, market-neutral equity strategies across U.S. public markets. Our work sits at the intersection of quantitative research, automated trading infrastructure, and disciplined operational execution. We manage capital with precision, consistency, and a strong engineering mindset.

We’re a lean, highly technical team that values reliability, first-principles thinking, and ownership. Here, operational excellence isn’t a support function — it’s a core driver of performance.

What do we do?

We design and operate fully automated trading systems built in-house. These systems execute sophisticated strategies that rely on accurate data, seamless execution, and precise risk controls across multiple counterparties and infrastructure layers.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: build trading systems that perform consistently and reliably at scale. We believe disciplined execution, strong controls, and technical rigor are just as important as strategy design.

We combine quantitative thinking, engineering-grade systems, and rigorous operational processes. Every trade, portfolio, and dataset must reconcile perfectly. Every discrepancy must be understood. Every failure must be prevented next time.

Who works here?

You’ll work alongside traders, engineers, and quantitative specialists in a tight-knit, highly skilled environment. The team is small by design — we hire people who think independently, take ownership, and solve problems without waiting to be told.

Why is this role open?

We are scaling our trading activity and strengthening our operational infrastructure. To support this growth, we’re looking for someone who can take direct responsibility for the integrity and reliability of live trading systems.

Who are we looking for?

We’re searching for a hands‑on Trading Operations Analyst who wants real responsibility from day one.

This role is not passive monitoring — you will actively ensure that systems, portfolios, trades, and balances remain accurate across all environments throughout the trading day.

We’re open to candidates with limited formal experience if they have strong fundamentals, analytical thinking, and the ability to learn quickly.

Understanding of trading operations in hedge fund, prop trading, or similar environments
Familiarity with long/short equity or market‑neutral strategies
