Experienced quantitative developer

In this role, you will get to run end-to-end algorithmic trading processes, taking your ideas from research, through implementation, and to live algo maintenance. Your focus will be to ensure that our algorithmic execution stack continues to be best in class, and to develop and execute on market microstructure driven strategies. Another key aspect of this role will be to engage in the continuous improvement of our trading platform; here you might propose new solutions and contribute to best engineering practices, working together with best-in-class engineers.  

Concretely, your areas of responsibility will include the following: 

• developing microstructure driven strategies used for algorithmic execution and proprietary trading 

• ensure high performance, stability and scalability of algorithms that consume vast amounts of data and operate in a low-latency / high-throughput environment 

• analyse and benchmark algorithmic performance using strategy level metrics and transaction cost analysis  

• conduct research that aims to train, test, monitor and simulate quantitative trading strategies  

• continuous enhancement of our algorithmic trading stack by proposing new ideas and challenging how we work today 

You will join the Gas & Power eTrading team whose mission is to unify, streamline and improve the execution capabilities across the commercial units in Danske Commodities. We aim to generate profits using market microstructure related signals, and we have a cross-market focus, aiming to scale execution capabilities across assets and products.  

We are a team of quants that work closely with software developers, data engineers, and traders. We take a scientific approach to solving problems, fostering an environment of innovation and collaboration.  

As you will work in a highly complex field, we imagine that you can communicate clearly with stakeholders, ensuring best engineering practices and high performance across teams. We also expect that you are driven, adaptable, and able to thrive in a dynamic environment as we operate in an ever-changing market where the ability to adapt and act on market conditions is essential for success.  

Please note that prior knowledge of the energy sector is not required for this role.
