Overview

HFT Trader – South East Asia Markets

Locations: India / Singapore / US

A leading proprietary trading firm with deep roots in India and a global footprint is looking to onboard an experienced High-Frequency Trader (HFT) to lead and scale trading strategies across South East Asian markets.

As part of a lean, elite team, you'll have access to significant capital, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and full autonomy to develop, run, and optimize your trading strategies. This is an opportunity to plug into a platform where ideas move fast, bureaucracy is minimal, and success is directly rewarded.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Independently managing and expanding a high-performance trading book focused on South East Asian equities, futures, or derivatives
  • Designing and refining latency-sensitive strategies using a data-driven, research-heavy approach
  • Leveraging in-house and cloud-based infrastructure to scale profitable strategies
  • Collaborating with global teams of engineers, quants, and traders to continuously optimize performance

What We're Looking For

  • 2–5 years of HFT trading experience with a demonstrable and profitable P&L track record
  • Strong understanding of market microstructure, order book dynamics, and alpha signal development
  • Proficiency in Python and/or C++, and comfort working with large datasets in a research-driven environment
  • Prior exposure to South East Asia markets is essential
  • Based in India, Singapore, or the US — or willing to relocate / collaborate across time zones

Why This Role?

  • High-impact platform with autonomy to build your desk your way
  • World-class infrastructure, built for speed and scalability
  • Transparent and highly rewarding comp structure: Base ₹4–5 Cr + Performance Bonus + P&L Share
  • Tight-knit, entrepreneurial culture where you're empowered to act like an owner, not an employee
  • Rapid decision-making and direct access to leadership and firm capital

If you're a performance-driven trader ready to accelerate your growth in one of the most dynamic regions in the world, we'd love to connect.

Reach out for a confidential discussion.
