Overview
We are seeking a highly experienced Systematic Trader to architect and lead a cutting-edge quantitative trading function within Rapid Global Growth (RGG), leveraging unique Artificial Intelligence capabilities.
Based in Dubai, this new initiative is backed by a significant, patient capital base and operates with the focused approach of a private investment office. This is a ground-floor opportunity to build, lead from the front, and innovate in systematic trading.
Reporting directly to the CEO and leading a Quantitative Analyst, you will be central to our strategy. Your role involves translating signals from our proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) technology into high-performance, event-driven trading strategies across commodities and equities. You will be pivotal in defining our quantitative edge and scaling our operational success.
Why This Role Offers a Distinctive Career Trajectory:
Highly Competitive Compensation: A tax-free salary range of AED 50,000 - AED 65,000 per month, augmented by a performance-driven bonus structure designed to significantly reward success (details provided to qualified candidates).
Comprehensive Relocation Support: A complete package to facilitate a smooth transition to dynamic Dubai, including flights, visa sponsorship, and initial 2-week hotel accommodation.
Shape the Alpha Engine (Pioneer with Us): Your primary mandate is to leverage and evolve our proprietary LLM. Your expert insights will directly influence its development and sophisticated application in generating unique, defensible trading signals. This is an opportunity to work at the true forefront of AI in finance.
Build, Lead & Scale Your Strategic Vision: Assume ownership of an initial $10M+ portfolio with a transparent framework for increased capital allocation linked to performance. Lead and mentor a Quantitative Analyst, establishing a culture of high-performance quantitative research and trading within our new, agile unit.
Direct CEO Partnership & Focused Investment Horizon: Collaborate closely with the CEO and CIO within a results-oriented environment that benefits from patient capital and a long-term investment horizon, allowing for strategic development unencumbered by typical external fund pressures.
Dedicated & Cutting-Edge Infrastructure: We are committed to investing in and providing the requisite technology, extensive data sets, and high-performance computing resources essential for sophisticated low-latency systematic trading and LLM-driven quantitative research.
Key Responsibilities & Strategic Objectives:
Alpha Strategy Development & Execution: Design, implement, rigorously test, and refine systematic trading strategies based on proprietary LLM signals, ensuring robust execution and advanced risk management.
Portfolio Management & Strategic Scaling: Actively manage and grow a multi-million dollar systematic portfolio; develop and implement frameworks for allocating and scaling capital effectively based on strategy capacity and performance.
Quantitative Leadership & Mentorship: Lead and mentor a Quantitative Analyst, guiding advanced quantitative research, statistical model development, and robust backtesting processes.
LLM Collaboration & Iterative Optimization: Serve as the key trading domain expert in the continuous feedback loop with our AI/ML development team, enhancing the LLM’s predictive power and the quality of its signal generation.
Performance & Risk Oversight Frameworks: Implement and manage comprehensive performance analytics and real-time risk control systems tailored for systematic, high-frequency trading strategies.
Candidate Profile: Required Expertise & Qualifications:
Required (MUST-HAVES):
Systematic Trading Mastery: A minimum of 5 years of demonstrable success as a systematic trader (primarily in commodities and/or equities), with a clear and verifiable P&L track record.
Deep Algorithmic & HFT Expertise: Proven ability in designing, optimizing, backtesting, and deploying sophisticated algorithms for high-frequency, low-latency trading environments.
Strategic Portfolio & Advanced Risk Management: Verifiable experience managing and scaling systematic portfolios of $10M+ (or equivalent) using advanced, dynamic risk management frameworks.
Advanced Programming & Quantitative Skills: Fluency in Python, R, or similar languages, applied to complex quantitative research, rigorous statistical analysis, and custom algorithm development.
AI/ML Collaboration & Translation: Proven ability to work closely with quantitative researchers or AI/ML teams, translating trading insights into tangible model improvements and signal enhancements.
Preferred (NICE-TO-HAVES):
Prior experience in architecting and building out a new trading desk or a novel suite of systematic strategies from inception.
Specialized market microstructure knowledge or direct trading experience in energy, agriculture, or specific large-cap global equity sectors.
An advanced academic degree (Master’s/PhD) in a quantitative discipline such as Financial Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or Computer Science.
