Junior Quantitative Trader – Delta One (Asia-Pacific)

Location: Sydney, Australia

Qube Research & Technologies (QRT) is a global quantitative and systematic investment manager operating across asset classes and geographies. We combine data, research, technology, and trading expertise to deliver scalable, research-driven investment strategies.

We are growing our Delta One trading desk in Sydney and are looking for a new member of the team to help shape its direction. This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, ambitious team with meaningful scope for ownership and impact from day one.

The role sits at the intersection of trading, research, and technology — you will be actively involved in all three, rather than specialising in a single function. On any given day, you may be operating live trading systems and managing risk, researching and developing new signals, or improving the infrastructure the desk runs on.

Show full description

As the platform grows, you will play a key role in expanding the desk across Asia-Pacific, with a long-term ambition to build capabilities in markets globally.

Responsibilities

Trade Delta One products, including ETFs, futures, and equities, across Asian exchanges, delivering efficient execution and competitive pricing
Operate and monitor systematic trading strategies across a range of horizons, from high-frequency trading to longer-term positioning
Research and develop alpha signals using market microstructure, flows, and cross-asset data, in collaboration with quantitative researchers
Build and improve trading infrastructure in collaboration with engineers and developers
Identify and capitalise on relative-value and arbitrage opportunities
Monitor market structure, liquidity, product developments, listings, and regulatory changes across Asia-Pacific markets
Contribute to the ongoing development of the desk’s trading capabilities, systems, and processes as it scales

Your Profile

Experience in trading, quantitative research, or a related quantitative role
Strong quantitative and probabilistic thinking, with an intuitive understanding of expected value and risk/reward trade-offs
Experience in systematic trading, market making, proprietary trading, or quantitative research; direct Delta One experience is advantageous but not essential
Comfortable working with electronic trading systems and making data-driven decisions
Curious about markets and motivated by both research and implementation — from identifying an opportunity through to production
A builder mindset: you enjoy improving strategies, tools, and processes rather than simply operating within established frameworks
High attention to detail, ownership, and accountability
Clear and effective communicator who collaborates well across trading, quantitative research, and engineering
Comfortable in a fast-growing environment where not everything is defined and priorities will evolve as the desk scales
Programming experience with the ability to work with data and translate ideas into practical trading solutions
Strong quantitative foundations, typically demonstrated through a degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Economics, Finance, or a related discipline

Why Join QRT

Join an ambitious, fast-growing Delta One trading desk
Take on meaningful responsibility and have direct impact on strategy, trading, and desk performance
Work at the intersection of quantitative trading, research, and technology
Collaborate in a flat, high-performance environment with experienced global teams
Access cutting-edge data, tools, and global trading infrastructure
Help build and scale trading capabilities across Asia-Pacific and, over time, global markets
