Quantitative Researcher
Quantitative Researcher | MFT/HFT | London (Remote for top applicants) £250k + PnL
We’re seeking an experienced Quantitative Researcher to drive research, modelling, and alpha generation for HFT strategies. You will design, test, and iterate ultra-low-latency statistical models and signal-generation techniques, working closely with engineers and traders to deploy production-ready strategies.
Why this is different The firm is not looking for run-of-the-mill candidates, they want researchers who are currently running live strategies and are ready to move into and build their own desk.
Minimum 2 years trading live strategies
Key responsibilities Develop microstructure-aware alpha and execution strategies for HFT or MFT. Build predictive and inventory-management models using statistical and ML methods. Design realistic backtests (market impact, latency) and monitor/assess live performance and risk. Partner with low-latency engineers to productionize models and maintain reproducible research pipelines.
