Trafigura is searching for an exceptional candidate interested in applying Machine Learning to the commodities markets. The ideal candidate will have:

• Exceptional analytical skills. We are very interested in talking
  with you if you have strong skills in machine learning,
  statistics, astrophysics, economics or other fields that deal with
  large, noisy data sets. A solid foundation in quant finance is a plus,
  but not necessary.
• High level .net skills. Must be able to hit the ground running
  in C# or, very preferably, F#.
• Experience developing real systems with F#, Haskell, Ocaml or other functional languages.
• Masters or PhD from one of the top universities in your country.

You

will work directly with Trafigura’s Chief Risk Officer/Head of

Quantitative Analysis, “cranking code” and rapidly extending our risk

and analytic capabilities, which are entirely written in F#. If you are not excited by the prospect of

rolling up your sleeves and being the person who makes things happen,

this job isn’t for you. If you think you can, then this role offers a

seat on the trading floor, an excellent compensation package and a clear path into trading, if that is of interest. We are willing

to assist with visas for particularly strong candidates.

Trafigura is one of the largest commodity trading companies in the

world. We are particularly active in the physical energy and metals

markets. This position is based in our Geneva, Switzerland office. Geneva is regularly rated one of the world's most liveable cities, benefiting from a wealth of outdoor activities and Switzerland's low tax rates.
If

you are interested in this position, please send some

details on your background and where you would like to go with your

career to quant.recruitment@trafigura.com .
