Why AE Capital?
AE Capital is focused on forecasting the future. Our approach is scientific and combines the power of human expertise with machine learning to create algorithms that predict the world’s financial markets. As with complex problems like weather forecasting, the best forecasts come from humans interacting with the computer models and we have been developing a similar philosophy in finance for over 10 years.
AE Capital is one of the few businesses in the world to have successfully used machine learning in finance, and our commitment to continuous improvement in all that we do has led to another recent breakthrough. We have developed a framework that allows traditional “discretionary” traders to create algorithmic trading models, without the need for programming experience. Secondly, we have created specialised data sets that allow machine learning experts to apply their trade without the need for deep financial expertise.
We now need talented individuals who can bring their expertise and domain knowledge - whether it be in financial markets, data science, computer science, software engineering or infrastructure - and apply their skills to our new methodology as we grow.
We are always on the lookout for self-motivated, results-driven analytical minds who enjoy problem solving and can bring their skills and experience to our team. This is a unique opportunity to learn from industry leaders in our collaborative and hands-on environment, pushing the boundaries of finance and technology.
Enjoy the many benefits of working for AE Capital, at our offices in Melbourne, one of the world’s most liveable cities. With flexible work hours, genuine autonomy, and the ability to have a direct impact on the business, our unique culture embodies the Aussie spirit of mateship, teamwork and the open exchange of ideas in a fun, dynamic and informal environment.

Junior Trading Analyst
The job
As a Junior Trading Analyst at AE Capital, you will have a unique opportunity to work closely with Senior Traders in researching fundamental ideas that directly lead to the creation of new trading systems. You will also work with the trading operations team to assist in the running of those systems.
Day to day you will assist Senior Traders in researching new ideas. For example, this may involve analysing CFTC reports in combination with world trade data to support a hypothesis on how speculators and hedgers behave in soft commodity markets. Or reviewing central bank reports to gain a better understanding of how different central banks around the world rebalance their foreign reserves and the affects this may have on foreign exchange markets.
Ultimately, by working closely with Senior Traders you will, in time, become an expert on one or more asset classes and how to trade them.
On the operations side, you will not only ensure our systems are operating correctly, but also gain valuable knowledge in the mechanics of how electronic capital markets truly work. From understanding how electronic networks and market makers influence the price of a market on millisecond time scales, to the middle and back-office processes international investment banks use to ensure counterparty risk on a trade is controlled.
Ultimately, by working with one of the few Australian businesses that trades systematically on the world’s capital markets, you will gain a unique set of skills rarely on offer at other firms.
About You
You will have, or be nearing completion, a university qualification in finance, commerce, economics, or a related field.
This role does not require any financial industry experience, although some experience would be beneficial.
The ideal candidate will be:
What’s in it for You:
If you are accountable, professional, enjoy a collaborative high achieving team environment and want to work with some of the brightest and best in the business, all you need to do is send us your CV, Cover letter, and university transcript (if applicable).
In return we will provide you with a work environment and opportunity that will enable you to thrive, be heard and be valued; plus be very well compensated.
We do not need recruitment agency support; we have this covered.
