About this role
Da Vinci is building a proprietary trading firm and seeks experienced quants to join their Mumbai office in one of three specialized tracks: trading, research, or development. The role demands 3 to 10 years in a quantitative environment—whether at another prop shop or in algorithmic trading—and a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, engineering, or computer science. You'll need solid programming skills in Python or C++, genuine fluency with financial markets, and the analytical rigor to operate in real-time, high-stakes conditions.
Your day-to-day work will vary by track. Quant traders generate profits through position-taking and market-making while managing live risk; researchers dig into datasets to surface opportunities and build backtested models; developers architect high-performance systems that translate ideas into production code. All three paths involve collaboration across the team and a commitment to continuous refinement—whether that's optimizing desk performance, exploring new markets, or improving infrastructure and latency.
The package includes a base of 85 lakh INR with total compensation expected around 500k+ USD annually, plus performance-based bonuses and potential equity stakes. You'll receive a relocation package, comprehensive health insurance, 20 vacation days, meals during work hours, and regular social events. This is an in-office role suited to someone who thrives in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments and wants the autonomy to push ideas through to completion.
