Quantitative Researcher - Cash Equities/Futures - London/Paris/Zurich
I’m working with a global systematic hedge fund which is hiring experienced Quantitative Researchers for a research and trading team which covers global cash equities and futures. This team has a highly established and profitable track record, and is led by a Quantitative Portfolio Manager with a background of leading teams at top firms.
In this role you will be responsible for the full research and trading pipeline for systematic strategies at intraday or mid frequency time horizons (hours to two weeks). You will cover global equities/equity futures markets, from cleaning and analysing market/alternative datasets through to putting models into production and monitoring their performance in live trading, in collaboration with other quant researchers, developers, and traders in the team.
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.
