**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

### Quant Developer – Systematic Commodities Hedge Fund

Moreton Capital Partners is seeking a talented Quant Developer to join our team. We are live trading across global commodity futures, supported by an investment process rooted in machine learning.  
  
This is a unique opportunity to work directly with the global team, owning infrastructure that takes research ideas to production in a fast-moving, real capital environment.

### Key Responsibilities

-   Build and maintain data pipelines ingesting futures and alternative datasets (from price data from vendor feeds to unstructured data).
-   Build and improve LLM-based workflows that support research, data processing, and internal tooling.
-   Improve backtesting framework (event-driven simulations, realistic slippage/costs, walk-forward validation, portfolio performance analysis).
-   Support research tooling: feature libraries, experiment tracking, artefact storage.
-   Machine learning cloud and local execution and optimization setup.
-   Productionize signals into the live trading stack with CI/CD, monitoring, and version control.
-   Develop dashboards and alerting for data quality, latency, and model drift.
-   Collaborate with researchers to translate hypotheses into robust, testable experiments, as well as enhance proposed process computationally.

## Requirements

-   Fluency in Python and SQL; clean, testable code is a must.

-   Experience with data engineering (Airflow, Snowflake, pandas, polars workflows).
-   Prior exposure to systematic trading, backtesting, or market data pipelines.
-   Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS), containers (Docker), and CI/CD.
-   Self-starter with the ability to work autonomously in a lean, high-ownership environment.
-   Bachelors in CS/Comp-Eng or computationally heavy subject matter, and ideally, a minor in Finance.

**Bonus points for:**

-   Commodities or macro markets exposure.
-   Systematic medium term investment exposure.
-   Experience with ML Ops tools (MLflow, Weights & Biases), feature stores, or model monitoring.
-   Front-end skills (TypeScript/React) to help build researcher dashboards.

## Benefits

-   Impact from day one: You’ll be building mission-critical infrastructure for a fund that is already live trading for large institutional investors.
-   Direct exposure: Work alongside the CIO and senior researchers, with a direct line to decision-making.
-   Learning curve: Deep exposure to commodity markets, ML research workflows, and institutional-grade trading systems.
-   Growth trajectory: Clear path to increased scope and compensation as the fund scales with institutional AUM.
-   Attractive compensation: Highly competitive base salary and annual bonus that scales as the business grows.
-   Positive, inclusive and encouraging work environment.
