Peritium Search are a boutique Executive Search firm and we operate in a nuanced and specific seniority level within the quantitative trading industry. We very typically introduce senior IC's and leaders into senior and high value positions in both engineering and trading. For the most part we collaborate with professionals on roles with meaningful impact, fast track progession, and roles which directly impact the bottom line of organisations we partner with.We do not work with every quantitative hedge fund or prop trading firm on the street, nor do we want to. Our simple objective is to provide the most transparent, honest and professional service we can to the partners we collaborate with and of the course the professionals we proudly represent. If you are a senior professional within engineering who enjoys working on open-ended, deeply complex engineering problems in back end API's, distributed architecture, with a priority thinking mindset then there are certainly opportunities our firm would have for consideration. From a research and trading perspective we partner with leading academic individuals, as well as industry professionals looking for more then they are receiving in their current roles.Please reach out to me on Mike@peritiumsearch.com should you wish to connect.

12+ years experience of introducing talented scientists and software engineers to some of the world's best funded and innovative professional scientific, trading and R&D groups. Many of my clients are hedge funds and proprietary trading companies that have more in common with campus research environments and leading technology firms than banks and other forms of finance. Typically, I work with research teams and trading groups that have been responsible for creating solutions to highly complex software, hardware and mathematical problems which happen to be applied to financial markets. I work in partnership with my clients to find exceptionally talented junior researchers, scientists or developers through to retained mandates involving the placement of Senior Managers, Directors and CTO's.I am always interested in speaking to individuals/teams interested in the following positions:Quantitative ResearcherQuantitative DeveloperQuant TraderSoftware EngineerHardware EngineerI can be contacted on the following:Tel: +44 (0) 203 402 6902Tel NY: +1 646 722 4284Cell: +44 (0) 7919 493 332Mail: m.sharp@westbourne-partners.com
