Description
The Role
We are looking for a hands-on STRAT / forward-deployed engineer to embed with our multi strategy business. The candidate will sit on the trading floor, shipping full-stack tools that power research, risk, and execution across strategies such as index rebalance, delta-1 and
long/short equities. The role will be based in our Hong Kong office.
What you’ll do
- Automate PM/analyst processes— alpha signals, portfolio construction, real-time risk, P&L, scenario and stress analytics.
- Help build out our proprietary research, portfolio construction and risk management platform.
- Build end-to-end products: data ingestion, micro-service back-ends, and lightweight front-ends for visualization and workflow.
- Own SDLC: requirements gathering, architecture, coding, testing, deployment, and ongoing support in a fast-moving trading environment.
- Balance long-horizon platform projects with fast tactical asks; break down roadblocks and deliver incremental value quickly.
- Use our proprietary AI setup to create differentiated analytics; help extend the AI platform.
- Maintain strong stakeholder communications across technology, trading, quant research and risk.
- The minimum internship period is 6 months, and the role may be converted to a full-time position based on strong performance.
What you’ll bring
What you’ll need:
- 2–3 years buy- or sell-side experience as a STRAT, quant dev, or forward-deployed engineer.
- Solid grasp of trade-lifecycle and investment management workflows; exposure to equities preferred.
- Proven coding expertise; comfortable across the stack (data wrangling, REST/GraphQL APIs, Python, simple JS/React or Dash front-ends).
- STEM Master degree or Ph.D. with strong quantitative/problem-solving skills; ML/AI experience a plus.
- Self-starter who thrives in a high-tempo setting, communicates clearly and manages stakeholders effectively.
- Willing to be based in Hong Kong (relocation support provided if needed).
