You will work across the full strategy lifecycle — from signal discovery and backtesting to deployment and ongoing performance evaluation — helping strengthen the firm’s research and execution capabilities.
How You Will Make an Impact
​
-
Design, implement, and refine systematic, data-driven models for financial markets
-
Analyze high-frequency market data to identify patterns, structural effects, and inefficiencies
-
Evaluate model performance and adjust parameters based on observed behavior and statistical feedback
-
Conduct performance and risk analysis to improve robustness and stability
-
Collaborate with quantitative researchers and engineers to enhance modeling frameworks and system efficiency
​
What You Bring to the Team

-
Strong background in mathematics, statistics, physics, or data science, with emphasis on strong probabilistic thinking
-
Proficiency in Python/C#/C++
-
Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret market data and performance metrics
-
Passion for financial markets and strong trading intuition, with the ability to identify patterns and assess risk in dynamic market environments
-
A proactive mindset with a willingness to take ownership
We Would Consider as an Advantage
​
-
Previous experience as a quant trader or quant researcher is a strong advantage
-
Knowledge of market microstructure and liquidity fragmentation
-
Exposure to high-frequency or intraday strategies
What Does Not Matter
​
-
Years of experience — mastery takes time, but we don’t put arbitrary numbers on it.
-
Your previous industry — finance or trading experience is not required.
The bar is high, but don’t be intimidated — different people shine in different ways. If you’re curious, driven, and enjoy solving meaningful problems, you’ll fit right in.
