Algorithmic Trader
We are looking for smart, motivated individuals with a background in programming and/or a quantitative analysis (statistics, data mining, mathematics, machine learning). No prior knowledge of finance or trading is necessary.
Because the markets are all electronic, having a programming background will allow you to create new strategies and interact with the market in a very unique way. Technological innovation is critical to the electronic trading world, and Jump is intensely focused on staying ahead of its competitors. Our ideal candidate has a competitive fire, an entrepreneurial spirit, and strong programming skills.
As a new trader at Jump, you will complete a training and rotational program focused on enhancing your knowledge of trading, programming, and statistics. The training module consists of in-house courses and trading simulation developed and delivered by experienced algorithmic traders and developers.
During the rotations, you will have the opportunity to work with different trading teams to find the group that best matches your skill set and interests. Once you join a trading team, you will apply your programming and quantitative analysis background to execute and manage trades, help build systems, and come up with strategies that trade for the firm’s account.
You will have dedicated mentors and resources throughout the program to provide constant advice and feedback. In an effort to maximize your potential, many of those same mentors will remain available to you throughout your career at Jump.
