Quantitative Trader - Global Session Coverage in New York, New York at Summit Securities Group

Exceptional trading emerges where human intuition meets frictionless experimentation. Our platform and processes enable traders to rapidly investigate ideas, identify emergent patterns, and convert insights into live strategies. This synthesis creates a flywheel of discovery — the key to our pursuit of excellence.

We are looking for a quantitatively driven trader to help expand our global trading coverage. Our team approaches the markets through data, mathematical reasoning, market structure, and systematic experimentation. We use our intuition to find patterns, investigate them, and capture opportunities.

We are looking for someone who can combine research, modeling, and live trading. You will use Python and market data to research and backtest trade ideas, improve execution workflows, analyze risk and P&L, and manage live orders during Asian / non-U.S. market hours. You will be expected to form your own views on where to look, what to test, and what to leave alone — and to defend those views when challenged.

This is a growth opportunity: you will help build the processes, tools, analytics, and handoff discipline that allow the team to operate more continuously across global markets. The right person will be technically strong, mathematically curious, commercially aware, and comfortable operating in live markets where judgment, preparation, and precision matter.

This role may be based in our New York office or remote.

At our firm, our people come first. We are committed to building a culture of collaboration, where we support each other through challenges and celebrate our collective successes. We believe that the strength of a modern workplace lies in its diverse workforce—diverse in ideas, cultures, and experiences. We actively foster this environment and take pride in being an equal opportunity employer.

In compliance with New York City’s Pay Transparency Law, the anticipated base salary for this role ranges from $125,000 - $200,000 annually, based on experience and qualifications. Please note, this range excludes other components of total compensation, such as bonuses.

We offer competitive compensation packages, 401k matching, gender-neutral parental leave, and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance. While we value flexibility, we believe that in-person collaboration is key to solving complex challenges, which is why we require employees to be in the office 4 days a week. In-office perks include lunch stipends, fully stocked kitchens, happy hours, and a great location with amazing colleagues.
