Junior Quantitative Researcher
We're partnering with a leading market maker specialising in ETFs that's looking to grow its research team. They're one of the top liquidity providers by daily trading volume across the markets they trade, and pair that scale with a genuinely collaborative culture: minimal red tape, high autonomy, and research that feeds directly into live strategies.
What you'll do:
- Apply mathematical rigour to research and build predictive models
- Work across a broad toolkit, including regression, time series analysis, statistical modelling and feature engineering
- Partner closely with traders and engineers to refine and improve existing strategies
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who you are:
- MSc or PhD in a STEM discipline
- 0 to 2 years of finance experience. Fresh graduates with relevant internships are very welcome, and experience with derivatives or exotics at a bank is a strong plus
- Strong Python skills are essential
- Right to work in the UK, as sponsorship isn't available at present
- Able to start within the next six months
