About the role

AI/ML Quant TraderFully Systematic Trading | Machine Learning DrivenWhat this role really is A trader who builds machines that trade. Not discretionary trading enhanced by models — but fully systematic strategies where AI and ML drive the decision process, from signal generation to portfolio construction. You design the system, test it, deploy it, and improve it. The core idea Markets are noisy, adaptive systems. Machine learning can help uncover patterns — if applied carefully. Your job is to turn data → models → strategies → live trading systems. What you’ll actually be doing Researching signals Mining market and alternative datasets for predictive structure Applying ML techniques to forecasting, classification, and regime detection Building strategies Designing systematic trading strategies driven by model outputs Combining signals into portfolio-level decisions Running experiments Running large-scale backtests and robustness checks Stress-testing models across regimes and market conditions Operating live systems Deploying models into production Monitoring performance and refining strategies over time What your background might look like You likely have experience somewhere along the intersection of:machine learningsystematic tradingquantitative research You’ve probably:built models that actually tradedworked with financial time-series datawritten a lot of research and production code Programming (usually Python) and strong statistical intuition are essential.

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.
