  • Create and submit trading reports and post-trade analyses

  • Identify limitations, conceptualize enhancements, and develop next-generation trading strategies

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in STEM (e.g., mathematics, engineering, computer science); fresh graduates invited to apply

  • Strong analytical thinking, comfortable with uncertainty, and a systematic approach

  • Familiarity with programming or scripting tools (Python, C++, or similar)

  • Excellent communication skills, fast learner, and strong self-management
