Overview
We are looking for accomplished researchers interested in growing their career in quantitative finance. Our Quantitative Researchers apply mathematics, statistics, and programming to solve complex problems found in our trading environment. The problems we solve demand brilliant minds with extraordinary attention to detail and a relentless pursuit of understanding.
What you'll do
* This idea can come from anyone: you, the mentor beside you, or someone you meet in the cafeteria.
* As a Quantitative Researcher, you will investigate that idea by immersing yourself in market data, leveraging tools in mathematics, statistics, and programming.
* Through your research, you may discover a new pattern that can transform into a trading signal.
* You will work side‐by‐side with technologists to backtest your results and put that trading signal into production.
* Once that signal is embedded in our electronic trading strategies, you will continue to do research on that strategy to optimize its performance.
* As the strategy evolves, you will discuss with other researchers, strategists, and traders to collect feedback and brainstorm new ideas.
* Some of those ideas will turn into new quant projects, and the life cycle starts all over again.
What we're looking for
* Honours or Master's degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Economics.
* Exceptional mathematical problem‐solving skills.
* Solid communication skills, both in understanding others and in being clearly understood.
* Strong, practical computing skills; specific language proficiency is less important than the ability to get computers to accomplish tasks efficiently and reliably.
* Experience working on in‐depth research projects.
* Finance experience is not required.
What's in it for you
* Market‐leading education program, incorporating classroom theory, simulated learning, and a secondment to our Philadelphia office, renowned for setting graduates up for success.
* Non‐hierarchical culture that allows employees of every level to thrive and have an impact.
* Highly competitive remuneration, attractive bonus, and additional leave entitlements.
* Private healthcare and gym allowances, plus wellness initiatives.
* Fully stocked kitchen—daily breakfast and lunch.
* Regular social, sporting, and community events.
* Visa sponsorship and relocation package where required.
Interview Process
* Apply
* Online Assessments
* Recruiter Interview
* Technical Interview
* Final Round Interviews
* Job Offer
