  • Oversee signal discovery, model validation, and productionization of new trading ideas.

  • Manage end‑to‑end research pipelines —from data sourcing and feature engineering to backtesting and live performance monitoring.

  • Collaborate closely with portfolio managers, engineers, and traders to refine models and drive real P&L impact.

  • Evaluate and implement new machine learning, NLP, and alternative data techniques to uncover differentiated signals.

  • Guide research into execution algorithms, transaction cost modeling, and portfolio optimization.

  • Develop and enforce best practices for data integrity, version control, and model documentation.

  • Provide strategic direction, mentorship, and technical guidance to a high-caliber quant team.

What You Bring

  • 8–12+ years of experience in quantitative research or systematic equities trading , including team leadership.

  • Proven record developing and deploying alpha models that have demonstrated live profitability.

  • Deep understanding of market microstructure, equity factors, and portfolio construction methodologies.

  • Expertise in Python, C++, R, or MATLAB , and familiarity with distributed computing frameworks.

  • Advanced degree (PhD or Master’s) in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or Financial Engineering.

  • Strong grasp of machine learning, statistical inference, and time-series analysis.

  • Excellent communication skills—able to translate research outcomes into actionable trading insights.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset and collaborative leadership style.

Why It’s Worth a Conversation

  • Opportunity to lead a world‑class quant research team with autonomy, resources, and scale.

  • Exposure to multi‑billion AUM trading infrastructure , global data sets, and elite engineering support.

  • Collaborative, performance‑driven culture that rewards innovation and measurable results.

  • Competitive compensation with P&L participation and leadership upside.
