Enhance the scalability and flexibility of portfolios to accommodate bespoke investment needs of clients
Identify and integrate novel big‑data sources into the firm’s data pipeline
Produce white‑papers, internal presentations, and external publications on AI/ML advances; deliver presentations at industry conferences

Complete other projects as requested by senior management

Requirements

PhD or MS in a quantitative field (e.g., Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related AI/ML discipline)
7+ years of hands‑on AI/ML research and production deployment in a quantitative or data‑science environment
Strong understanding of systematic trading concepts; financial experience is strongly desired but secondary to AI technical expertise
Demonstrated fundamental research experience in AI/ML (e.g., publications, conference presentations)
Advanced programming experience in languages suited for quantitative research and strategy implementation
Ability to synthesize complex topics into easily digestible verbal and written commentary
Exposure to securities and derivatives markets and investment processes with knowledge in mid-to-low frequency systematic strategies (preferred)
Experience managing a team of quantitative researchers is a plus
