About

We’re working with a global FinTech organisation building a research-first trading team on the lookout for a Quant Researcher.

We’re looking for a Quantitative Researcher with a strong statistical foundation and hands-on experience developing trading strategies. Someone who thrives at the early stages of strategy development — cleaning data, testing hypotheses, modeling predictive signals, and collaborating with engineers to bring ideas into production. A part of a high-impact team where your research directly influences trading performance and capital allocation.

Key Responsibilities

• Research, design, and validate short- to mid-frequency alpha strategies in global futures and equities.
• Work with large-scale market, fundamental, and alternative datasets to identify and test signals.
• Build and evaluate forecasting models with strong statistical rigor and robust out-of-sample testing.
• Collaborate with engineers to transition prototypes into production systems.
• Monitor live strategy performance, identify signal decay, and iterate to enhance robustness.
• Stay up to date on market structure, liquidity conditions, and quantitative modeling techniques.

Key Skills

• 3+ years’ experience in quantitative research, ideally within systematic or mid-frequency trading.
• Strong background in statistics, machine learning, and time-series modeling (PhD a plus).
• Hands-on experience in futures and/or equities markets.
• Proficiency in Python; familiarity with C++ or Rust is advantageous.
• Deep understanding of research workflows — including walk-forward testing, validation, and overfitting avoidance.
• Comfortable working with large datasets and conducting exploratory data analysis.
• Bonus: Experience taking a strategy from research to live trading, or knowledge of execution modeling, slippage estimation, and transaction cost analysis.
