What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Design and test statistical or predictive algorithms using diverse datasets

  • Own the research pipeline end-to-end—from ideation and method selection to validation, backtesting, and live performance tracking

  • Ensure the quality and integrity of large data sources, identifying anomalies and cleaning as needed

  • Explore new data sources for potential signal generation

  • Translate research insights into robust Python-based implementations

  • Contribute to the ongoing improvement of the trading infrastructure and provide support for operational enhancements

  • Jump into ad hoc tasks and new initiatives as priorities shift

What We’re Looking For:

  • An advanced degree (Master’s or higher) in a quantitative field like Mathematics, Computer Science, or a closely related discipline

  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in a similar capacity

  • Fluent in Python with a solid understanding of modern programming practices and object-oriented design

  • Demonstrated ability to conduct empirical research and build machine learning or statistical models from raw data

  • Familiarity with optimizing and testing latency-sensitive algorithms in a Linux-based production setting

  • Exposure to order book dynamics and statistical modeling related to limit order book trading

  • Experience working with SQL databases and APIs to support real-time data needs and model integration

  • Dependable work habits and consistent availability
