About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional Quantitative Researcher to design, test, and deploy alpha-generating strategies across high-frequency trading environments. In this role, you will analyze microstructure data, build short-horizon predictive models, and collaborate with engineers to implement low-latency strategies on live markets. You will be expected to think rigorously, iterate quickly, and adapt strategies to ever-evolving market conditions.
This is a fully remote position, open to candidates globally. We prioritize results and innovation over location and time zones.
