Job Description
We are building a proprietary HFT trading team focused on Indian markets. Our infrastructure provides direct NSE connectivity with low-latency market data and execution. Backtesting runs on high-quality historical NSE data.
We are looking for an experienced HFT Trader who is comfortable operating in a growing environment and wants to contribute to strategy development while working closely with the engineering team.
What You'll Do
- Develop, backtest, and deploy HFT strategies on NSE Options (primary focus), with a roadmap to expand into additional NSE instruments
- Collaborate with the engineering team on execution quality, latency optimization, and order routing
- Participate in platform calibration and performance improvements as strategies scale
- Build a strategy library that can grow with the platform
Qualifications
- Hands-on experience developing and deploying strategies in the microsecond-to-millisecond range
- Strong understanding of NSE market microstructure – options pricing, order book dynamics, flow toxicity
- Solid grasp of execution best practices: order types, queue positioning, adverse selection management
- Strong programming skills in C++ or Rust are required. You will be expected to independently implement, maintain, and optimize production trading strategies and execution logic
- Comfortable independently developing production trading robots on top of an existing trading platform
- Clear thinking on pre-trade risk: position limits, order rate limits, kill-switch requirements – and the latency cost you're willing to pay for them
- Rigorous approach to backtest validation: you know the first things to check before trusting a result, and you understand the impact of market data timestamp accuracy on strategy performance
- Proactive, communicates openly, thrives in a collaborative environment
