Trading Operations Engineer

Global Quantitative Trading Firm

London – Hybrid (4 days onsite)

Quant Capital is hiring on behalf of a leading global trading firm looking for an Operations Analyst to join its London team. This is a high-exposure role within a small, technically capable operations group supporting a multi-asset, multi-venue trading environment.

You’ll work across reconciliations, trade support, cash and collateral management, and process automation—helping ensure the firm’s global trading infrastructure runs smoothly and scales efficiently. Ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, engineering-first environment and wants their work to directly impact performance.

Role Overview

This role provides hands-on exposure to trading systems, operational processes, and financial products across the full trade lifecycle. You’ll be building and automating workflows, monitoring risk, liaising with brokers and exchanges, and working with engineers to develop new tooling and reporting infrastructure.

This isn’t back-office ops—it’s embedded, high-leverage work in a deeply technical, high-trust environment.

Key Responsibilities

Provide front-office support for the firm’s direct trading business
Work closely with the trading desk
Provide assistance in trade capture
Field reconciliation-related inquiries
Daily P&L calculation and substantiation
Support trade management activities, such as processing exercises and assignments, corporate actions, box transfers, currency conversions, etc.
Research and design analytical tools to be integrated into daily procedures
Adopt, integrate, and promote new technology as it becomes available
Provide experienced direction and assistance to teammates across all product classes

What You’ll Need

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Maths, Engineering, or Computer Science (min 2:1)
2–3 years experience in trading operations or a similar environment
Experience with futures, futures options, and/or OTC products preferred
Previous experience supporting fixed income, currencies, crypto assets, or commodities products
Strong Python
Clear communicator with experience working across teams
A self-starter who takes ownership of problems and builds scalable solutions
Familiarity with at least one asset class from an ops or support perspective

Why Apply?

High-impact role in a fast-paced trading environment
Exposure across asset classes, products, and trade lifecycle
Autonomy to design and automate operational processes
Embedded within a tech-driven team where ideas are implemented quickly
Real opportunity to shape systems, not just follow workflows
