Overview

We are looking for a Quantitative AI Researcher to design and develop AI-driven systems and agentic workflows that support trading and research.

This role focuses on building intelligent systems that extend beyond static models — integrating machine learning, automation, and decision-support agents to operate in complex, data-rich environments. You will work across financial, event-driven, and probability-based markets, where data is noisy, outcomes are uncertain, and adaptability is critical.

The objective is to develop AI systems that enhance decision-making, accelerate research, and improve trading performance.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build agentic AI systems to support research, analysis, and trading workflows

  • Develop and refine machine learning models for prediction, classification, and probabilistic estimation

  • Integrate AI agents with data pipelines, models, and execution systems

  • Work with structured and unstructured data across multiple markets

  • Develop tools that automate data analysis, signal generation, and decision support

  • Evaluate system and model performance, iterating based on real-world outcomes

  • Collaborate with traders and engineers to deploy systems in live environments

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong foundation in machine learning, AI systems, and statistical modelling

  • Experience building applied ML models and working with real-world data

  • Familiarity with LLMs, agent frameworks, or autonomous systems is beneficial

  • Proficiency in Python and relevant AI/ML tooling

  • Ability to think in terms of systems, workflows, and end-to-end solutions

  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

We value individuals who can build intelligent systems that operate effectively under uncertainty, not just isolated models.

What You’ll Gain

  • Experience developing AI systems applied to real trading and research problems

  • Exposure to environments where automation, data, and decision-making intersect

  • The opportunity to build systems that directly influence strategy and performance

  • A high level of ownership and autonomy in both research and implementation

Environment

  • Small, focused team

  • Close collaboration across trading, research, and engineering

  • Emphasis on practical outcomes and system performance

  • Performance-driven, but collaborative
