  • Proven track record of live strategy deployment and alpha generation in futures markets
  • Strong proficiency in C++ with exposure to performance optimization in latency-sensitive environments
  • Deep understanding of market microstructure, especially in futures (e.g., CME, Eurex, ICE)
  • Familiarity with exchange APIs and FIX protocols
  • Strong statistical and data analysis skills; Python or similar for research is a plus
