Overview
The most underpriced alpha opportunity in global markets isn't in New York or Amsterdam.
It's here.
A well-capitalised market maker building the dominant liquidity franchise across MENA — a region where the microstructure edge hasn't been arbitraged into dust, and where a sharp signal builder can still move the needle.
We're hiring a senior quant researcher to own short-horizon alpha end-to-end: idea → backtest → production → iteration.
Applied microstructure and signal generation, shipped live, in markets that reward the work.
Why this seat is rare
Greenfield alpha.
LOB dynamics, order flow, pricing signals at seconds-level horizons — in markets where good ideas still pay.
Tier-1 infrastructure, frontier opportunity.
HRT-grade systems, MENA-scale upside.
A combination that essentially doesn't exist anywhere else.
Real ownership.
A senior, elite team of \~15.
No layers, no politics.
You shape the research direction — you don't just contribute to it.
Build something, don't join something.
You won't be the 200th quant at a global MM hunting five more bps.
You'll architect the dominant market maker in a region about to matter a lot more.
Who we're looking for
A senior researcher with deep HFT or market-making experience, signals shipped to live trading, and the appetite to own a research vertical in a small, elite team.
Python-fluent, microstructure-native, comfortable in tight loops with traders and engineers.
If you've built short-horizon alpha in production and want more ownership, more upside, and a frontier worth your next five years — let's talk.
Competitive base + bonus + meaningful upside
