About the role
Identify exploitable opportunities in non-equity markets and build asset-class-specific signals, risk models, execution systems, and optimizer formulations. Take strategies from research through production, selecting data and infrastructure, and monitor live performance and model degradation. The ideal candidate has a PhD in a quantitative field or equivalent depth, plus at least seven years of quantitative research experience across more than one firm. They have independently built profitable strategies trading real capital in at least two specified non-equity asset classes, and bring strong Python, machine learning judgment, and end-to-end research ownership.
