About the Company
A rapidly growing, AI-native quantitative investment firm is building out its investment team ahead of launch. The firm brings together leading quantitative researchers, mathematicians, physicists and AI talent across the US, Europe and the Middle East.
About the Role
The firm is now looking for mid/senior-level Quantitative Researchers or Portfolio Managers with a proven track record in mid-frequency trading (MFT). The ideal candidate will have 3–10 years of industry experience, with a preference for individuals coming from proprietary trading environments or entrepreneurial quant teams, rather than large, highly structured institutions. The opportunity is particularly suited to someone who wants to help build a platform and have meaningful ownership over research, strategy development and ultimately PnL.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
