Quantitative Trader/Researcher
Z1 Tech
About the Role:
Z1 Tech is launching a new proprietary quantitative trading initiative. We are seeking a
entrepreneurial Quantitative Trader / Researcher to design, build, and deploy automated,
systematic intraday trading strategies.
As an early hire for this initiative, you will work closely with the CEO as part of this zero to one
project and have end-to-end ownership, from data analysis and alpha generation to execution
logic. This is a greenfield opportunity ideal for a quant who wants to avoid corporate
bureaucracy and see their models deployed directly to live markets with a highly competitive
layout.
Key Responsibilities:
-Strategy Development: Design, backtest, and implement systematic,
high-frequency/intraday scalping strategies, with a core focus on highly liquid index
derivatives (e.g., SPX options/futures).
-Execution Optimization: Develop and refine automated execution algorithms to
minimize slippage and optimize fill rates in fast-moving market environments.
-Infrastructure Collaboration: Work closely with engineering to build out robust, low-
latency backtesting pipelines and live trading infrastructure.
-Risk Management: Design embedded risk management frameworks, position-sizing
models, and real-time monitoring tools.
Qualifications & Skills:
-Experience: 3+ years of experience as a Quantitative Researcher, Trader, or Developer
within a proprietary trading firm, hedge fund, or market-making desk.
-Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of market microstructure, order book dynamics,
and derivative pricing/greeks. Direct experience with SPX, index options, or ultra-short-
term momentum strategies is highly preferred.
-Technical Proficiency: Strong programming skills in Python (for research, data
analysis, and backtesting) and familiarity with C++ or modern backend languages for
low-latency execution.
-Mathematical Foundation: Advanced degree (Master's/PhD or equivalent practical
mastery) in a quantitative field: Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or
Engineering.
-Mindset: Entrepreneurial, self-directed, and execution-oriented. You thrive when given a
blank canvas and the autonomy to build.
Applicants MUST reside in Vancouver.
