Quantitative Trader/Researcher
Z1 Tech
About the Role
Z1 Tech is launching a new proprietary quantitative trading initiative. We are seeking an 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 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 (research, data analysis, 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. Thrive when given a blank canvas and autonomy to build.
Applicants MUST reside in Vancouver.
