What we do
Founded in 2010, we’re a small tech business run by programmers. We partner sophisticated data with powerful technology to trade in a way that’s impossible for humans. Our trading is entirely automated, and we look to bring automation to everything we do.
Talented people make it all possible.
There’s so much more we’ve imagined that we want to build, and we’ve only just begun
We support our people inside and outside of work
People have full lives with lots of commitments and considerations - family, friends, relationships, mental health, physical wellbeing and career fulfilment. We believe in offering benefits that support people in their lives as a whole, both inside and outside of Quadrature. Here are a few examples of how we do that.
- Supporting Your Learning
- Supporting Your Physical Health
- Flexible Working and Time Off
- Parents
- Looking After Your Wellbeing
Supporting Your Learning
Your personal learning and career development is important to us. You’ll have challenging problems to work on, close mentors to work with and talented people to learn from, but we also help through programs and activities that aim to support your growth.
- Tailored workshops and programmes
- Management development programme for those in management or mentoring roles
- Undergraduate and Postgraduate funding
- Access to professional coaching
- A regular Speaker Series, where we invite interesting people from all walks of life to talk about their experience
- Unlimited free books on any subject
Supporting Your Physical Health
Staying fit and healthy can be difficult during the week, but we believe that it doesn’t need to be if you have everything you need to help you stay active.
- Gym membership at local gyms (both with international membership)
- Onsite gym, with showers and lockers
- Weekly yoga sessions overlooking the London skyline
- Flexible work schedules that allow you to work out during the day if you want to
- Full body health checks every 2 years, with a doctor
- Private GP for you and your family
- Private medical and dental insurance with BUPA
Flexible Working and Time Off
We try to create a culture that people enjoy being a part of, and an environment that people love to be in, but we still want people to take a break!
- You can chose to work from home Mondays and Fridays if you'd like to - we'll also help you with your home kit set up
- 30 days holiday allowance, with the option to carry over up to 5 days
- A work ski trip every year to one of the European pistes
- A work summer holiday every year to enjoy the sun
- 3 months paid sabbatical every 5 years
Parents
A growing family is wonderful and exciting, but we’re no stranger to the tension parents can sometimes feel between work life and family life. We do a few things to try to support parents.
- 12 months paternity and maternity leave, fully paid
- Time off for school events, such as plays, parent-teacher meetings, or first day at school drop offs
- Supporting individuals where we can through back-to-work coaching or childcare
Looking After Your Wellbeing
Our emotional and psychological wellbeing has a huge impact on our lives and on our confidence levels (both inside and outside of work), and helping everyone improve their own mental health is something we fully believe in. Barriers continue to exist around mental health, which stops people feeling confident enough to ask for help. We aim to break down these barriers by offering support, creating an environment that encourages wellbeing, and speaking up often about the importance of good mental health.
- Free, confidential and unlimited counselling sessions with qualified therapists
- Workshops and speaker sessions on a variety of mental health topics, such as resilience, social anxiety or assertiveness
- Guided group meditation to help develop mindfulness

Our charity foundation
Quadrature Climate Foundation (QCF)
Established as an independent entity in 2019 by Quadrature Capital Limited, QCF aims to tackle our most urgent environmental issue – the climate emergency.
Never before has our environment, our planet, and our species faced such a global crisis that will permanently change the course of our future.
QCF does not aim to take a traditional path to mitigating this crisis; rather, we believe our role is to disrupt the current trajectory, support those that have already or have the potential to demonstrate progress and design and execute high impact approaches.
