The position is at the proprietary trading desk of the SINOWIN GROUP (HK) LTD company. It is part-time, and work from home, and all relevant materials will be provided by email and remote access to research and production servers located at the CME Exchange in Chicago. The particular opening will focus on the high frequency trading division. Office positions are also available in the LA and Hong Kong metropolitan area. The algorithms are fully automated, 'black box', and are fully functional/currently trading. Computation time is on the microsecond scale and executions are under one millisecond compared to 1~2 second for conventional trading platforms. The primary job focus will be related to developing new algorithms and refining existing ones. Several members of the team are Caltech alums, and we wanted to reach back to prestigious California based universities to see if there were any promising undergraduate or PhD students in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or Computer Science.
The market is pretty crowded these days, and most firms have long stopped hiring, so this is one of the better ways for a student to get some real experience in the field. The desk is young, but is fully funded, and is ready for aggressive expansion. Training is unpaid; there will be financial incentives for exceptional work. No 'busy work' at the shop; all tasks will be extremely market-relevant for your future career.
If interested, please forward transcript, relevant coursework and research, with an emphasis on quantitative methods and coding experience. Financial experience neither required nor encouraged. All bright students should feel free to apply. Position is part-time, and we'll work around your courseload and other responsibilities.
