Quantlab

Houston, TX

We are a group that has proven the power of science and technology in the financial markets for nearly two decades.We’re scientists and technologists who happen to trade. Many of us come from other, non-financial industries—academics from major institutions, software developers from top tech companies, engineers from leading hardware providers. We were tired of working in conventional academic, corporate or trading environments and the politics, internal competition and distractions so often prevalent in those places.

In Quantlab, we have created a different kind of financial trading firm. We’re a company that invests heavily in our people and technologies to get the best out of both. We leverage the most sophisticated techniques and advanced networks to stay ahead of the curve. We embrace full automation with experienced risk managers who carefully supervise our technology-driven trading. It’s an extremely exciting, creative field—we love what we do, and we’re always looking for new ground to break.
