Quantitative Developer – Systematic Energy Trading – UK (Remote) – £DOE

Location: UK (Remote)

Salary: DOE

Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

The Opportunity

EVEREC is partnering with a fast-growing energy trading business to recruit a Quantitative Developer to join its expanding quantitative trading function. Working directly alongside a Quantitative Trader, you’ll be responsible for developing the quantitative models, algorithms and systematic strategies that feed directly into live trading decisions across European energy markets.

This is a front-office quantitative trading role. We’re looking for someone who is already operating within a quantitative, systematic or algorithmic trading environment and has direct experience working on or alongside a trading desk. You’ll combine a strong mathematical background with hands-on programming and trading experience to research, build, backtest and implement quantitative strategies within a fast-moving commercial environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Research, develop and implement quantitative and systematic trading strategies across energy and commodity markets.
• Work directly alongside Quantitative Traders to identify new trading signals, market opportunities and sources of alpha.
• Build quantitative models and algorithms that feed directly into live trading decisions.
• Develop and backtest systematic and algorithmic trading strategies using historical and real-time market data.
• Apply statistical and mathematical techniques to analyse market behaviour, pricing dynamics and trading opportunities.
• Evaluate strategy performance, robustness and risk before deployment into live trading environments.
• Translate quantitative research and trading ideas into production-ready models and tools.
• Analyse large and complex market datasets to identify patterns and commercially valuable signals.
• Continuously monitor, refine and improve existing quantitative models and trading strategies.
• Work closely with traders and technical teams to rapidly research, test and implement new ideas.

About You

We’re looking for an experienced quantitative professional who is already working within a systematic, quantitative or algorithmic trading environment. The key requirement is genuine exposure to front-office quantitative trading rather than optimisation, operations research or consultancy.

You will ideally have:

• Professional experience within quantitative trading, systematic trading or algorithmic trading.
• Direct experience working on or closely alongside a quantitative trading desk.
• A strong academic background in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Financial Engineering or another highly quantitative discipline.
• Strong mathematical, statistical and quantitative modelling capabilities.
• Hands-on experience researching, developing and backtesting systematic trading strategies.
• Strong programming skills, ideally using Python, with the ability to develop quantitative models and trading tools yourself.
• Experience working with financial, energy or commodity market data.
• A strong understanding of how quantitative models and algorithms are applied within live trading environments.
• Experience taking quantitative ideas from initial research through backtesting and into implementation.
• Ability to work closely with traders in a fast-paced, commercially focused environment.
• Previous experience within energy or commodity trading would be highly advantageous.
• Knowledge of quantitative trading infrastructure and production environments would be beneficial but is not essential.

Relevant backgrounds could include quantitative or systematic trading experience within commodity trading houses, proprietary trading firms, hedge funds, banks or specialist energy trading businesses.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary depending on experience.
• Remote working within the UK.
• Opportunity to work directly alongside an experienced Quantitative Trader.
• Direct exposure to live systematic trading strategies and real-time market decision-making.
• Opportunity to develop quantitative strategies across European energy and commodity markets.
• Significant ownership over quantitative research, strategy development and implementation.
• Join a fast-growing energy trading business at an exciting stage of expansion.
