Quantitative Researcher at a pan-European multi-asset retail broker.

Quantitative Researcher reporting to the Head of Quantitative Research. The work is execution research on retail flow that hits both traditional and digital-asset venues, on a routing, slippage and venue-selection stack that already exists.

About the firm

Anonymised by default.

A pan-European multi-asset retail broker. The firm offers equities, ETFs, and digital assets to consumer customers across the EU and UK. Multi-million customer base. The firm operates an execution layer that interacts with both traditional and digital-asset venues; the quant research team owns the firm's routing, slippage, and venue-selection models.

We name a client on the mandate page only where the firm has approved publication. Where not named, the description above is intended to be enough for a senior candidate to recognise whether their pattern fits the brief.

The brief

What this seat exists to do.

Quantitative Researcher reporting to the Head of Quantitative Research. Senior IC seat focused on the firm's digital-asset venue coverage.

Owns the firm's venue-selection and slippage models for the digital-asset side of the broker's execution stack. Works with the trading team on routing and with engineering on model deployment.

The seat is half research, half production — the firm expects models to ship and survive real-money use, not sit in notebooks.

London-based, office-first three days per week. Light travel.

What we are assessing for

  • A current quant researcher with verifiable execution-quality work at a brokerage or proprietary trading firm, ideally with multi-venue scope.
  • Comfort with the digital-asset side of the market — venues, fee structures, settlement, and the operational quirks that move slippage models.
  • Strong code instinct. The seat ships into production; the candidate has to be comfortable owning the model from research notebook to deployed service.
  • Patterns: a senior quant researcher from a peer retail broker with crypto coverage; an execution quant from a digital-asset prime broker; a senior IC from a market-making firm ready for a brokerage-side seat.
The firm's read

Spectrum's read on this search.

The work is execution research on retail flow that hits both traditional and digital-asset venues, on a routing, slippage and venue-selection stack that already exists. The interesting problem is digital-asset venue selection in a retail-broker context, where the microstructure, liquidity profile and counterparty risk differ enough from the equity and ETF side that the same models do not translate. The firm runs equities, ETFs and digital assets to a multi-million consumer base in the EU and UK, so the models you build have to hold up across a wide flow profile, not a single venue or asset class.

— Craig Oliver, Founder & CEO
