  • Engage in live trading execution and system troubleshooting when needed
  • Support asset allocation proposals and market research
  • Liaise with clients, private banks and counterparties

Requirements

  • 2–3 years experience in portfolio management, quant strategy, or systematic trading OR a deep technical background with clear investment interest
  • Intermediate to advanced Python skills (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, backtrader)
  • Experience building or contributing to live/systematic strategies
  • Familiarity with risk-adjusted performance metrics (Sharpe, VaR, drawdown)
  • Proficiency with backtesting frameworks and data pipelines
  • Strong interest in automation, process engineering, and quantitative finance
  • Ownership mindset, strong execution drive, and ability to self-manage
  • Business-level English (spoken & written)

Nice-to-have:

  • Japanese language proficiency
  • Experience with trading protocols (FIX, IBKR API, MT4/5)
  • Hands-on experience with OMS or broker integration
  • Portfolio construction experience using optimization models or ML
  • Exposure to client advisory or UHNW servicing

Preferred Attributes

  • Naturally curious, proactive, and resourceful
  • Thrive under pressure and in ambiguous, fast-paced environments
  • Love leveraging technology to improve real-world investment outcomes
  • Team-oriented with a startup spirit and institutional mindset

Team & Culture

  • Work alongside relationship manager and senior PM with deep industry experience
  • Flat, agile, high-ownership team with real autonomy and impact

  • Learn and contribute across tech, trading, advisory, and operations

Work Hours

  • Competitive, performance-based package
  • Multi-stage hiring process including technical assessments and strategic discussions
