About the role
Research, design, test, and document volatility and market-regime indicators and portfolio risk rules, including when strategies should move into or out of cash, gold, or Treasury bills. Build backtesting and validation tools, write production code, and explain each strategy rule in plain English. Requires a bachelor's or master's degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, or a related field, along with at least four years of experience in quantitative research, trading, or data science. Candidates should have strong Python and statistical skills and understand how backtests can mislead; fintech, wealth management, brokerage, or trading experience is a bonus.
