  • Use a rigorous and structured process to ensure your results are reliable and well tested
  • Develop a strong grasp of the market dynamics and areas of improvement, collaborating effectively with the operational traders
  • Have a solid understanding of statistics, a variety of machine learning approaches, and the risks of overfitting
  • Have practical experience extracting value from a range of sources (both public feed and alternative data)

Your Skills and Experience: 

  • Graduate & Postgraduate study from top universities, majoring in machine learning, statistics, or STEM subjects
  • 3+ years experience as a Quantitative Researcher, with specific experience in the high to mid frequency delta one space. Have a proven track record of developing value-adding and orthogonal features across multiple families
  • Strong programming skills in at least one language (python preferred)
  • Significant practical experience with at least one mainstream ML approach
