Quantitative analysis · Medium frequency / Macro pipeline

You research and build automated trading signals for futures markets, holding positions from a few hours to a day. The seat sits in Tudor's Macro Pipeline team, inside a systematic trading team that researches, builds and maintains trading models in liquid futures. Systematic means the rules for buying and selling are written in code and run on their own, rather than being decided trade by trade by a person.

Futures are contracts to buy or sell something, such as a government bond, a stock index or a currency, at a set price on a set date. Liquid means they trade in large volumes, so positions can be put on and taken off cheaply. Medium frequency means the signals work on intraday to daily horizons. You are looking for patterns that play out over hours or a day, slower than the microsecond world of high frequency trading but far faster than a trader who holds a view for months.
