Uncover Hiring Manager

Job Description

Trading Operations Analyst

Reppls is a technology-driven quantitative investment firm running systematic, market-neutral equity strategies across U.S. public markets. Our work sits at the intersection of quantitative research, automated trading infrastructure, and disciplined operational execution. We manage capital with precision, consistency, and a strong engineering mindset. We’re a lean, highly technical team that values reliability, first-principles thinking, and ownership. Here, operational excellence isn’t a support function — it’s a core driver of performance.

What We Do

We design and operate fully automated trading systems built in-house. These systems execute sophisticated strategies that rely on accurate data, seamless execution, and precise risk controls across multiple counterparties and infrastructure layers.

Why We Do It

Our mission is simple but ambitious: build trading systems that perform consistently and reliably at scale. We believe disciplined execution, strong controls, and technical rigor are just as important as strategy design.

How We Do It

We combine quantitative thinking, engineering-grade systems, and rigorous operational processes. Every trade, portfolio, and dataset must reconcile perfectly. Every discrepancy must be understood. Every failure must be prevented next time.

Who Works Here

You’ll work alongside traders, engineers, and quantitative specialists in a tight-knit, highly skilled environment. The team is small by design — we hire people who think independently, take ownership, and solve problems without waiting to be told.

Why This Role Is Open

We are scaling our trading activity and strengthening our operational infrastructure. To support this growth, we’re looking for someone who can take direct responsibility for the integrity and reliability of live trading systems.

Who Are We Looking For

We’re searching for a hands-on Trading Operations Analyst who wants real responsibility from day one. This role is not passive monitoring — you will actively ensure that systems, portfolios, trades, and balances remain accurate across all environments throughout the trading day. We’re open to candidates with limited formal experience if they have strong fundamentals, analytical thinking, and the ability to learn quickly.

What Professional Skills Matter Most?

Required

  • Understanding of trading operations in hedge fund, prop trading, or similar environments
  • Familiarity with long/short equity or market-neutral strategies
  • Strong numerical and analytical skills
  • Attention to detail and strong ownership mindset
  • Ability to work during U.S. market hours
  • Strong English communication skills
  • Ability to operate independently in a remote setup

Nice to have

  • Python or automation experience
  • Exposure to cloud or infrastructure environments (e.g. AWS)
  • Experience working with prime brokers
  • Quantitative, financial, or technical academic background
  • Experience in high-responsibility or fast-paced environments

What Will You Do in the Project?

Daily Trading Operations

  • Support pre-market, intraday, and post-market workflows
  • Ensure systems and portfolios are ready before U.S. market open

Reconciliation & Controls

  • Perform start- and end-of-day reconciliations across systems and brokers
  • Validate positions, balances, corporate actions, and P&L
  • Investigate and resolve discrepancies promptly

Monitoring & Issue Management

  • Monitor live trading activity during market hours
  • Detect anomalies early
  • Resolve operational issues independently when possible
  • Escalate risks clearly and quickly

Counterparty Interaction

  • Communicate directly with prime brokers
  • Handle borrow requests and locate processes
  • Coordinate resolution of trade or settlement issues

Process Improvement

  • Improve workflows, documentation, and controls
  • Assist with automation initiatives
  • Help build scalable trading operations infrastructure

What Do We Offer?

  • Remote work across Europe (preference: EU, especially Poland)
  • High-impact role with real ownership
  • Exposure to live quantitative trading systems
  • Competitive compensation

Hiring Process

While the exact steps may vary slightly, you can expect:

  • Introductory conversation
  • Technical/analytical discussion
  • Practical evaluation or case discussion
  • Final interview with team members

We keep the process focused, respectful, and efficient — just like our trading systems.

Key skills/competency

  • Trading operations
  • Market-neutral strategies
  • Numerical analysis
  • Attention to detail
  • Ownership mindset
  • U.S. market hours
  • Python programming
  • Cloud environments (AWS)
  • Prime brokerage
  • Quantitative finance
