Good lateral from programming/gamedev - Systematic Trading & Simulations?

Hello,

I am looking to lateral to the trading/finance industry. My experience is in game development and programming. B.S. in Physics, M.S. in computer science.

Target company should: * use a systematic approach * preferably use simulations * not be a high frequency trading fund

I am looking to program the systems that are key in driving the simulation or used for making trading decisions and refining views on the markets.

Do you know what companies would be good to look into for open positions?
