You will get the unique opportunity to join a fully automated front office electronic trading team, developing low-touch algorithms and centralising execution activities across our company, which has industry-leading expertise and trades across 40 markets.

Here’s what the job entails

In the role, you will act as a Senior Quantitative Developer within the Gas & Power eTrading team. Your primary function will be to drive the design and development of low-latency, high-throughput trading systems and well-optimised algorithms in close collaboration with the algorithmic software development team.

Concretely, your responsibilities will include:

• developing low-latency event-driven trading systems used for algorithmic execution, consuming vast amounts of data, while still ensuring high performance, stability and scalability.
• improving current core systems, proposing new ideas and implementing additional functionalities for our trading platform.
• building and maintaining high-speed exchange connectivity across different markets by integrating network protocols and APIs.
• designing and implementing multithreaded and distributed architecture, including order routing, execution and risk management.
• taking part in research platform development that aims to train, test, monitor and simulate quantitative trading strategies.

Meet your team

You will join the Gas & Power eTrading team that unifies, streamlines and improves DC execution capabilities across commercial units. The team has a cross-market focus and aims to scale up execution activities across different asset classes and products.

We are a team of quantitative developers working closely with software developers, data engineers, traders and other quantitative teams. We are curious, dedicated and highly analytical, and we apply a scientific approach to problem-solving and challenge current approaches by exploring and testing new ideas. Everyone in the team has market exposure and a significant impact on trading success.

But enough about us… over to you!

As you will be working with many different employees across teams, we picture you as someone who thrives when working closely with others and is motivated to work in a dynamic environment.
