Quantitative Developer - Durlston Partners - London

You will be the sole developer supporting the strategy’s buildout – designing and implementing trading systems and data infrastructure that take research from concept to live trading. That means building and deploying robust data pipelines, optimising the path from research into production, and working closely with the Portfolio Manager to develop frameworks for data validation and monitoring. This is a hands-on role with real accountability from day one. The Commodities team is led by a Portfolio Manager and senior quant researcher who have worked together for several years. That kind of continuity is rare, and it shows in how the team operates – collaborative, focused, and clear on where it is going. They are live and systematic in markets today, with active plans to diversify into additional commodity sectors. This hire is the priority before that expansion accelerates, which means you are arriving at exactly the right moment: early enough to shape the infrastructure, senior enough to own it. Working for a firm of this calibre carries real weight in conversations, in interviews, and on a CV. Beyond the name, you would be joining a stable environment where people tend to stay, taking on standalone ownership of a strategy that is actively scaling, and doing so with direct access to the people making the decisions.
