About the role

A financial research firm is looking for a quantitative researcher to apply statistical analysis to market and financial data and develop predictive trading models.
The ideal candidate will have: 3-5 years of experience in systematic equity trading, strong programming skills in C/C++ or Python/R, and advanced degrees in relevant scientific fields. This role requires innovative problem-solving, effective communication, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

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.
