  • Strong Python (pandas/numpy; quick prototyping/backtests; comfort with data hygiene & attribution).
  • Ability to translate macro/news into positioning; understanding of microstructure (auctions, halts/LULD, tick/lot, fee tiers) and SBL/borrow dynamics.
  • Profitable track record in equities/futures (high-level P&L drivers and risk used to achieve it).
  • Nice to have
  • Experience with internalization/crossing frameworks; broker algo tuning (VWAP/TWAP/POV).
  • Corporate-actions & index events playbooks; AP/issuer interactions for Cr/Rd.
