G-20 Group is a cross-asset trading firm headquartered in Switzerland, trading delta-one and derivatives markets globally. We combine startup agility with institutional-grade experience in proprietary trading, technology, and quantitative finance.

Role Overview

We are seeking an Algorithmic Quant Trader to develop and optimize systematic market-making strategies across digital assets and, where applicable, traditional markets. The role is focused on building high-performance algorithms that continuously price liquidity, manage inventory and risk, and capture spread and microstructure opportunities across fragmented electronic markets.

The successful candidate will have hands-on experience developing production market-making algorithms and a strong understanding of order books, execution, adverse selection, inventory management, and high-frequency market dynamics.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and optimize systematic market-making and liquidity-provision algorithms across spot, futures, perpetuals, and other derivatives.
  • Develop dynamic quoting models incorporating spread optimization, inventory skew, volatility, liquidity, order-book dynamics, and adverse-selection risk.
  • Research market microstructure and identify opportunities to improve fill quality, capture spreads, and reduce execution costs and information leakage.
  • Build quantitative models for fair-value estimation, short-term price prediction, order placement, and inventory/risk management. 
  • Backtest and simulate strategies using high-frequency tick and order-book data.
  • Analyze live strategy performance, including P&L attribution, fill rates, queue position, mark-outs, inventory, and execution quality.
  • Work closely with traders and engineers to deploy research into low-latency production trading systems.
  • Optimize strategies across multiple exchanges and liquidity venues, accounting for differences in fees, rebates, latency, market structure, and liquidity.
  • Develop automated risk controls and monitoring for market-making strategies. 
  • Strong quantitative degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, engineering, or a related discipline. High-ranking universities preferred. 
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills. 
  • Demonstrable professional experience developing algorithmic market-making strategies in crypto, equities, futures, FX, or other highly electronic markets.
  • Deep understanding of market microstructure, limit-order books, execution algorithms, inventory management, and adverse selection.
  • Strong programming skills, preferably Python plus C++ and/or Rust.
  • Experience working with tick-level and order-book data and building quantitative research/backtesting frameworks.
  • Understanding of statistical modelling, optimization, time-series analysis, and quantitative risk management.
  • Experience taking strategies from research through backtesting and into live production.
  • Strong commercial mindset with the ability to connect quantitative research directly to trading performance. 
Preferred / Desirable Experience
  • Direct experience in crypto market making or liquidity provision across major centralized and/or decentralized venues.
  • Experience with high-frequency or low-latency trading systems.
  • Knowledge of cross-venue pricing, arbitrage, hedging, and inventory optimization.
  • Experience market making derivatives, particularly perpetual futures and options.
  • Proven track record of improving market-making strategy profitability, scalability, or execution quality. 
Right to work : This role is based in our Zurich office. Only candidates who reside in and who possess the pre-existing right to work in Switzerland without requiring company sponsorship need apply.

Join G-20 Group and be a part of a team that is at the forefront of financial markets, driving innovation and excellence in the sector.
