Hot on the heels of DE Shaw’s addition of a former fintech product manager in Singapore to its trading team, comes news that new quant fund Qube Research & Technologies has also hired a former fintech employee, according to a report by eFinancial Careers.
Ben Nicholas, a former technical analyst at trading infrastructure fintech FlexTrade, which specialises in algorithmic trading execution across equities and FX, has been appointed as a quantitative technologist by Qube.
The firm is also hiring more broadly, according to the report, with natural gas and power trader and a former northeast power trading VP at JPMorgan Jonathan McDermott having joined as a quant trading director.
Qube also currently has 21 open roles in London, including 2024 internships in quantitative research and development, and is looking to add a junior Python quant in its commodities team.
