Quantitative Trader – HFT Futures – Nine Mile

Sydney, Australia

Nine Mile is an electronic principal trading firm focused on market‑making and arbitrage opportunities globally. Technology is at the forefront of our business, powering Nine Mile’s unified global trading platform and the micro‐decisions required for successful trading.

Nine Mile’s scale and efficiency allow us to be nimble, responding quickly to market opportunities and regulatory changes, whilst operating within a robust operational risk management framework.

At our heart, it’s our people that power Nine Mile – our strategy, technology, and relationships. We are proud to have a team of highly motivated, intelligent individuals who strive to solve complex problems through creative, sophisticated technology in an open, meritocratic environment.

The Role

As part of our continued expansion across APAC futures markets, we are seeking an experienced Quantitative Futures Trader to strengthen and scale our HFT market‑making capabilities.

The primary focus will be on providing liquidity in APAC‑listed futures, while also welcoming candidates with strong global futures market‑making experience who are interested in building and trading strategies within the region.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

  • Designing, implementing, and optimising high‑frequency, low‑latency market‑making strategies across futures markets, with a focus on APAC venues.
  • Actively managing real‑time risk, inventory, and quoting behaviour in fast‑moving market conditions.
  • Working closely with our ETF market‑making desk to align pricing, hedging, and risk across related products.
  • Partnering with our in‑house developers to enhance trading infrastructure, execution performance, and latency‑sensitive systems.
  • Identifying new futures products and venues where market‑making opportunities exist and scaling them efficiently.
  • Owning strategy performance and contributing directly to consistent, scalable PnL.
  • This is a high‑impact, front‑office role offering meaningful autonomy within a proven, high‑performance HFT trading environment.

What You Will Bring

  • 3+ years of experience in HFT futures market making at a leading proprietary trading firm or similar high‑performance trading environment.
  • Proven track record trading APAC futures markets, or strong global futures market‑making experience with a desire to expand into APAC.
  • Strong understanding of market microstructure, order book dynamics, and liquidity provision.
  • Advanced programming skills, ideally in Python and/or C++, with a strong appreciation for performance and latency.
  • Excellent quantitative skills, including probability, statistics, and numerical methods as applied to market making.
  • Ability to operate effectively in high‑pressure, real‑time trading environments.
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
  • Solid academic background in Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM discipline.

Our Culture

At Nine Mile, we operate in a highly collaborative and dynamic environment. Our success depends not only on our vision, technology, and strategies, but on the people who bring them to life every day.

We foster a culture that rewards open interaction, rigorous problem‑solving, creativity, and teamwork. We believe helping others succeed is as important as individual achievement.

Challenge your ideas. Work with us.
