Quantitative Trader

Now is your chance to join our quantitative trading journey and help us win by excelling in deep market know-how as well as complex problem solving and modelling._

**Who we are**

Lind Capital is a highly specialized company, trading on the financial markets with a key focus on market know-how, cutting-edge technology, data driven decisions, and automation. We are a proprietary trader with zero external investors allowing our 20+ employees in our cool offices in Aarhus to focus on quantitative models that deliver high returns.

**Quantitative Trader in Lind Capital**

As a Quantitative Trader you will become part of our trading team with six colleagues that all have a deep understanding of the market and the trading strategies we apply. You thrive with a geeky focus on beating the stock market with quantitative strategies while almost zero corporate stuff disturb you, although you do also like the odd beer, competition, or party with your colleagues.

**The job**

You will learn how to trade from our experienced traders to ensure that your business and trading understanding is at the highest level possible, to ensure you can be part of covering the daily trading operations. However, you will also be working with data, analyzing how to optimize trading strategies, and team working with our data and technology teams on model improvements.

More specifically, you will be tasked to:

- Execute our trading strategies within Europe and US stock market opening hours.
- Develop, test, and evaluate trading strategies including entry/exit points, hedging, sizing, and portfolio evaluations.
- Collaborate closely with Data Scientists, Software
- and ML Engineers in cross-functional squads.
- Evaluate and test new trading ideas.
- Continuously grow and develop your skills on the job and via relevant courses/training.

**You make the difference**

The trading strategies we pursue are all based on a complex combination of tech, data, and market know-how. This means your ability to go beyond your comfort zone and engage with experts in other areas is paramount to our success.

You are a team player and have an open-minded attitude. You can communicate ideas and technical topics honestly and clearly - also to non-experts. You are eager to understand and find solutions, allowing you to quickly adapt to changing situations and come up with new ideas.

**We expect that you have most or all of the following qualifications**:

- You have an interest in quantifying market know-how into alpha generating strategies.
- You can do complex problem solving and explain it in a simple way.
- You are comfortable working with large amounts of intra-day data.
- You have experience and interest in statistics and econometrics.
- You write clean and efficient Python code (or you can easily transition to Python from similar languages such as R).
- You have experience with cross-functional teamwork.
- You have a relevant university level education.

It is a plus, but not a pre-requisite that you have experience and/or familiarity with the stock market, trading, other programming languages, machine learning, cloud service providers, SQL, and GIT. Fluency in Danish is not a pre-requisite.

**What you will meet at the office**

We employ highly skilled people with different backgrounds. You will become part of an informal work environment where we focus on creating results across the organization, and where you will be empowered to make decisions. We generally dislike meetings, powerpoints, politics, and committees, but prefer to look at the code or the chart together over the screen for a few minutes and make the decisions there and then.

**Practicalities**

This position is based in Aarhus, Denmark. Non-Danish citizens are encouraged to apply, and we do offer relocating packages.
