Quantitative Developer
Leading Commodities Prop Trading Firm
Dubai, UAE
Venture Search is working with a commodities proprietary trading firm based in Dubai, that is looking for an engineer to join their futures trading desk. You will be part of the team trading European power and gas markets and will work closely with researchers and traders helping them develop models, tools and analytics solutions.
A large part of your day-to-day work will be helping analysts take their models to production, and deploy them to the cloud, improving their scalability and performance.
You will build and maintain tools to analyse model results, monitor them and make trading decisions.
You will be involved in automating as much as possible of the whole trade lifecycle (analysis, trading decision, execution, position monitoring, performance review).
On the modelling side, our client uses Julia and Python. On the backend, they use Golang/C#. Our client strongly believes in using the best tools for the job and is open to changing/using new technologies if they allow them to achieve better results.

Good to have
