Quantitative Developer / Researcher
We are working with an established multibillion-dollar hedge fund looking for a Quantitative Developer / Researcher to join a nine-person investment team. The team runs both a systematic long/short equity strategy and a quant-led, more quantamental long/short strategy.
This role sits between development and investment research. You will build and maintain the systems the team relies on, while working with the PM, investment analysts, and quant researcher on signals, backtesting, and portfolio analysis. It could be particularly appealing to a strong quant developer who wants to move closer to research without stepping away from hands-on development.
