📋 Description

• Develop, test, and productionize predictive signals across asset classes using a combination of statistical methods, machine learning, and AI agent–driven research workflows. • Investigate model behavior, signal decay, PnL attribution, and unexpected trading outcomes. • Study order book dynamics, execution costs, liquidity, and venue behavior to inform both signal design and execution strategy. • Help design and extend internal agentic systems that automate parts of the research pipeline — data exploration, hypothesis generation, backtest configuration, results summarization, and report drafting. • Work closely with traders, engineers, and other researchers to turn ideas into live, monitored strategies.

🎯 Requirements

• PhD (recently completed or near completion) in a quantitative field — e.g., Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Physics, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Operations Research, or a related discipline. • Strong programming skills in Python; comfortable with the modern data and ML stack (NumPy, pandas, PyTorch or JAX, etc.). • Hands-on experience building with AI agents and LLM-based systems — for example, tool-using agents, multi-step reasoning pipelines, retrieval systems, or evaluation frameworks. We want to see that you have actually built things, not just read papers. • Solid grounding in statistics, probability, and machine learning, with the rigor to know when a result is real and when it isn't. • Genuine interest in financial markets and trading, demonstrable through coursework, personal projects, competitions, internships, or self-directed study. • Strong written and verbal communication; able to explain technical work clearly to a mixed audience.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and company benefits • Work-from-home arrangement (the arrangement may vary depending on the work nature of the business team)
