A proprietary trading firm in Cambridge, specialising in the research and development of ultra-low-latency automated trading strategies, are looking for a Quantitative Researcher with a demonstrable background of iterating rapidly on complex mathematical experiments.

* Comfortable with C++ (must)

* Experience with Python

* Work well to tight deadlines

* Top grades
