Job Description

Presto, established in 2014, is a leading algorithmic trading and financial services firm with a global footprint, processing over 100 million trade executions daily across both digital assets and traditional finance markets. The company stands out for its research-driven approach to investment and trade execution.

As a Quantitative Developer at Presto, you'll be at the intersection of technology and financial trading, working alongside world-class quantitative engineers, researchers, and traders. Your role will be crucial in developing frameworks that enable researchers and traders to generate and implement trading ideas derived from data using cutting-edge technologies.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to build and maintain critical trading infrastructure, from data processing and analysis to strategy implementation and monitoring. You'll be responsible for creating robust platforms that handle all aspects of quantitative trading, including automated alpha/signal search, simulation, and performance evaluation.

The ideal candidate should have a strong foundation in computer science or quantitative disciplines, with expertise in C++ and Python programming. You'll need to demonstrate proficiency in object-oriented programming and Linux environments, combined with strong analytical skills and the ability to work independently. Experience in quantitative analysis, algorithms, and statistical methods (including machine learning and time-series analysis) would be particularly valuable.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys tackling complex technical challenges, and wants to contribute to a leading firm in the algorithmic trading space. The position offers the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology while making a significant impact on the company's trading operations.
