About the role
Voleon is seeking a researcher to contribute to optimization modeling and production-ready algorithms that guide trading decisions. You will work with experts in AI/ML research and finance, turning academic ideas into scalable solutions used in live markets. The role emphasizes collaboration, rigorous mathematical work, and continuous learning within a hybrid-work environment and a team of seasoned researchers and engineers.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
