This is a fully office-based role with no option for remote work. \nAbout G-20\nG-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.\nRole Overview\nWe 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.\nThe 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.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign, develop, and optimize systematic market-making and liquidity-provision algorithms across spot, futures, perpetuals, and other derivatives. \nDevelop dynamic quoting models incorporating spread optimization, inventory skew, volatility, liquidity, order-book dynamics, and adverse-selection risk. \nResearch market microstructure and identify opportunities to improve fill quality, capture spreads, and reduce execution costs and information leakage. \nBuild quantitative models for fair-value estimation, short-term price prediction, order placement, and inventory/risk management. \nBacktest and simulate strategies using high-frequency tick and order-book data. \nAnalyze live strategy performance, including P&L attribution, fill rates, queue position, mark-outs, inventory, and execution quality. \nWork closely with traders and engineers to deploy research into low-latency production trading systems. \nOptimize strategies across multiple exchanges and liquidity venues, accounting for differences in fees, rebates, latency, market structure, and liquidity. \nDevelop automated risk controls and monitoring for market-making strategies. \nRequirements\nStrong quantitative degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, engineering, or a related discipline. High-ranking universities preferred. \nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills. \nStrong written and verbal communication skills. \nDemonstrable professional experience developing algorithmic market-making strategies in crypto, equities, futures, FX, or other highly electronic markets. \nDeep understanding of market microstructure, limit-order books, execution algorithms, inventory management, and adverse selection. \nStrong programming skills, preferably Python plus C++ and/or Rust. \nExperience working with tick-level and order-book data and building quantitative research/backtesting frameworks. \nUnderstanding of statistical modelling, optimization, time-series analysis, and quantitative risk management. \nExperience taking strategies from research through backtesting and into live production. \nStrong commercial mindset with the ability to connect quantitative research directly to trading performance. \nPreferred / Desirable Experience\nDirect experience in crypto market making or liquidity provision across major centralized and/or decentralized venues. \nExperience with high-frequency or low-latency trading systems. \nKnowledge of cross-venue pricing, arbitrage, hedging, and inventory optimization. \nExperience market making derivatives, particularly perpetual futures and options. \nProven track record of improving market-making strategy profitability, scalability, or execution quality. \nRight 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.\nJoin 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4091,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Blockchain & Crypto","Professional Services","DAO"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T04:24:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.399,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":22,"expected_fill_days":8,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/g-20-group-algorithmic-quant-trader-zurich","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/g-20-group-algorithmic-quant-trader-zurich.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T21:09:48Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28305,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2379728},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2379728"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fg-20-group-algorithmic-quant-trader-zurich"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fg-20-group-algorithmic-quant-trader-zurich"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fg-20-group-algorithmic-quant-trader-zurich"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/g-20-group-algorithmic-quant-trader-zurich\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fg-20-group-algorithmic-quant-trader-zurich"}]}
