Junior Trader Location: Manhattan or Greenwich

Company Information:
Large hedge fund is seeking a junior trader to trade Credit Derivatives (Ground Floor Opportunity)

Job Description:
A major Greenwich-area fund is looking for an ambitious junior trader willing to quickly take responsibility in a fast paced , rapid-advancement environment. Their business model is simple: let great traders trade. They hire the best traders, and analysts, provide them with capital to trade, and take care of the rest (risk, market data, and order execution)

The fund operates like a group of smaller funds, with over 100 P&Ls for different traders. It's the closest thing to running a company within a company -- without dealing with administrative or regulatory issues.

One of the company's newest star managers is looking for an extremely smart and programming-literate junior trader to help develop and test quantitative trading models. This position requires C/C++ knowledge, VB work, and some database experience; C# is a plus, and other programming languages definitely don't hurt. Some mathematical skills are necessary, but domain experience isn't as critical as raw talent.

This is a great role for anyone who wants to transition into trading, knows the theory behind it, and is ready to learn from some of the best practitioners in the business. Programming a trading model is by far the best way to learn how to create them, so this position offers a quant's-eye-view of the financial markets along with a great opportunity to transition from development into fulltime trading
