Pinpoint Asia is partnering with a leading global quantitative investment manager renowned for its technology-driven, scientific approach to trading. Our client operates across all liquid asset classes worldwide, fostering a collaborative and innovative culture that pushes the boundaries of finance and technology.
We are seeking a highly motivated and technical individual to join their Production Trading Operations team. This is a critical, front-office-facing role at the nerve center of the firm's trading activities. You will be responsible for ensuring the seamless, high-performance operation of their live, automated trading systems.
This is not a typical back-office support role. You will be a proactive partner to traders, developers, and compliance, safeguarding the firm's trading flow, managing risk limits, and driving process automation.
Your Responsibilities:
Proactively monitor the health and performance of live trading systems, order flow, and risk limit utilization.
Act as the first line of defense for all trading-related issues, providing rapid-response troubleshooting and resolution.
Liaise directly with trading desks, compliance, and IT teams to pre-empt and resolve intraday issues.
Manage trading session access, system configurations, and ensure strict compliance with all trading limits.
Develop a deep technical and business-level understanding of the firm's complex trading platform.
Identify opportunities for improvement and drive the automation of trading processes, particularly for equities and futures.
Contribute to key initiatives focused on operational resilience, scalability, and efficiency.
Your Skillset:
Approximately 5 years of experience in a similar role supporting a live, high-frequency, or systematic trading environment.
A degree in a quantitative or technical discipline (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics).
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a calm and confident communication style.
Proven capacity to multi-task, prioritize, and maintain sharp attention to detail in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
Technical exposure to electronic trading protocols (e.g., FIX) and low-latency systems.
Prior experience with equities and/or futures markets is ideal. Multi-asset class knowledge is a significant plus.
Desirable Skills:
Scripting and automation skills in a language like Python are highly desirable.
Experience in exploring and analyzing large datasets to identify patterns or opportunities for improvement.
