Senior Quant Strategist

Gurgaon; Mumbai

About Edelweiss Global Markets

Edelweiss Global Markets is one of India’s most established and innovative proprietary trading businesses. We trade across equities, derivatives, fixed income, and currencies using a wide spectrum of strategies - from arbitrage and options to systematic and high‑frequency trading.

Our success is built on quantitative research, disciplined risk management, and deep collaboration between traders, quants, and engineers. We believe the best ideas emerge when smart people are given ownership, mentorship, and the freedom to experiment.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Quant Strategist to join our systematic and high‑frequency trading teams. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who wants to apply mathematics, statistics, and computer science to real financial markets.

You will work alongside experienced traders, senior quants, and engineers to research, build, test, and deploy automated trading strategies. This is not a theoretical role - your work will move from research to live trading, with measurable impact.

What You Will Do

  • Research and develop quantitative trading strategies across asset classes
  • Analyze large volumes of market data to identify patterns, signals, and inefficiencies
  • Build and test models for real‑time trading environments, focusing on speed and robustness
  • Collaborate with engineers to optimize strategy implementation and execution
  • Perform post‑trade analysis and continuously improve models and signals
  • Learn directly from senior traders about market structure, risk management, and capital allocation

What You Need to Succeed

  • Strong foundations in data structures, algorithms, and object‑oriented programming
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and working knowledge of Python or R
  • Solid quantitative aptitude and comfort with statistics and analytical problem‑solving
  • Curiosity about financial markets and a strong desire to learn
  • Prior exposure to quantitative research, trading, or market microstructure
  • Understanding of different asset classes and macro market behavior

Why Join Edelweiss Global Markets?

  • Real responsibility, early: Junior quants contribute to live strategies, not just backtests
  • Mentorship from seasoned professionals: Learn from traders and PMs with decades of market experience
  • Multi‑strategy exposure: Work across arbitrage, options, systematic, and HFT strategies
  • Fast growth environment: High performers take on more responsibility quickly
  • Strong risk culture: Learn how professional trading firms manage downside - not just returns

This role is for intellectually curious problem‑solvers who want to turn data into decisions and research into profits.
