The firm is an industry leader in the area of high-frequency trading and execution optimization. Our product distinguishes itself from competing offerings with its sophistication and rigorous mathematical underpinnings, so strong research is at the very core of our activities. Our uncompromising approach has resulted in a product that is acknowledged by our many institutional clients to be the best in its class. Building on this foundation, we are expanding aggressively, both in our main software offerings and in new areas of quantitative trading. Quants will be performing fundamental research in topics relevant to high-frequency trading, including execution optimization, risk management and trading strategies. They will participate actively in the development and implementation of results from their research.

At an absolute minimum, a successful candidate must:

• Be very smart, curious and interested in quantitative finance.
• Have solid graduate-level mathematical training. We prefer at least a master's degree in physics, mathematics, engineering or the physical sciences. This isn't the place to be if you've forgotten your calculus or aren't ready to answer statistics questions.
• Be an excellent programmer with strong experience developing in modern, object-oriented languages like Java, C++ or C#. Even more important, enjoy programming. Our critical advantage is the ability to deploy trading algorithms better and faster than anyone else, so we don't have a strong divide between research and development. Expect detailed technical questions covering design, syntax and data structures.
• Have excellent technical writing and communication skills.

In addition, we look for skills that will apply specifically to our area of finance and tool-set:

• Professional experience building, refining and analyzing equity trading algorithms
• Experience with very high-frequency financial data
• Professional-level knowledge of Java.

Who We Are?

Street Advisor Group (SAG), a New York City based firm specializing in Wall Street job placements for sales traders, is comprised of over 50 recruiters and industry consultants nationwide who have built a reputation of trust around the globe. Our reputation for quality service starts with our commitment to our clients, maintaining the highest ethical standards on the street and most important, our pride in personal service and confidentiality.

What differentiates SAG?

Our vast network of relationships, industry contacts, and knowledge of Wall Street truly separates us from our competition and allows us to closely monitor employment trends. Our employees not only track and study these employment trends but adapt their search process with these changes. This is essential in finding the ideal candidate to meet our clients' needs.

Why Work With Us?

Our research and wealth of relationships on the street has enabled us to establish an elite database that is second to none. Many recruiters are Internet based new search firms that are inexperienced and do not have effective networking and researching systems in place. Our divisions are run by people who know these positions firsthand and posses the knowledge and experience on Wall Street to allow us to efficiently and effectively attract, hire, and retain high profile candidates and clients. Sales traders that produce a few million dollars a year, high performance analysts, PMs, head traders, experienced compliance officers, and other top qualified buy side and sell side candidates cannot be found through online job searches by inexperienced recruiting firms. Those might be effective and sufficient for entry level positions but not when you are looking to place a high profile professional.

Fees

A dedicated SAG consultant will research and perform due diligence on the open position at hand. While searching our database for possible candidates we will post your job opening with all of our industry contacts, multiple search engines, and Bloomberg's job listings. Fees range from as low as 20-25% percent depending on position.

SAG strategic partnership

Selecting the wrong search firm will cost you time and money. Our experience lets us understand the intricacies of your needs as well as the needs of our candidates, making every search different. Our professionalism is what keeps our clients and builds relationships with new ones. Through complete anonymity choosing Street Advisor Group is critical to your search and truly separates us from our competition.
