At our organization, we're actively seeking highly skilled researchers with a passion for quantitative finance. Our projects demand exceptional problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a relentless pursuit of understanding.
Job Overview
* The lifecycle of a quant project begins with an idea which can come from anyone within the team.
* As a Quantitative Researcher, you will investigate that idea by immersing yourself in market data, leveraging tools in mathematics, statistics, and programming.
* Through research, you may discover new patterns that transform into trading signals.
* You will work closely with technologists to backtest results and put trading signals into production.
* Once embedded in our electronic trading strategies, you will continue to research the strategy to optimize its performance.
* Strategy evolution involves collaborating with other researchers, strategists, and traders to collect feedback and brainstorm new ideas.
* Some ideas turn into new quant projects, and the life cycle starts anew.
Our comprehensive onboarding program bridges academia and industry. Educational topics include options pricing, proprietary data sets, and data analysis techniques. Beyond orientation, our trading floor is an open environment for discussion, learning, and development.
Requirements
* A degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Economics.
