About Us:
Atto Trading, a dynamic quantitative trading firm founded in 2010 and leading in global high-frequency strategies.

  • Demonstrated management and leadership skills while still being >50% hands-on.
  • Background in a startup-phase HFT firm or trading team experience is highly desirable.

  • Knowledge of operating systems; kernel-level understanding of device/system mechanisms for Linux.
  • Linux/bash, Python.

    About you:
  • Strong practical decision-making abilities.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Deep passion for trading.
  • Passion for continuous learning.
  • Strong sense of responsibility and ownership mindset.

  • Performance-based bonus opportunities
  • 401k plan
  • Mental health support, including access to therapy
  • Paid time off (25 days)
  • Relocation support (where applicable)
