- Collaborate closely with portfolio managers, data scientists, and technologists to deploy strategies into production.
Candidate Profile
- Prior experience (3+ years) in a quantitative research or trading role at a hedge fund, prop trading firm, or investment bank (front office).
- Advanced degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, or Statistics.
- Deep understanding of systematic equity investing and statistical arbitrage frameworks.
- Proficient in Python for research and prototyping - experience with ML libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, XGBoost) is a strong plus.
- Strong mathematical and statistical skills, with a keen eye for detail and performance optimization.
- Comfortable working independently and as part of a dynamic, fast-paced team.
What’s on Offer
