We’re working with a leading proprietary trading firm looking for a Senior Quantitative Researcher to join their team and work directly on ideas that can make an impact in live trading.
This is an environment where good research moves quickly. You’ll have the freedom to explore new ideas, access to strong technology and data, and close collaboration with traders and other researchers to turn those ideas into strategies.
What you’ll be doing:
- Researching new sources of alpha across financial markets
- Developing predictive models and systematic trading strategies
- Working with large and alternative datasets to uncover signals others may miss
- Taking research from an initial hypothesis through testing and into production
- Working closely with traders to understand what works in the market and continuously improve strategies
- Having the freedom to pursue new research ideas rather than simply working within an existing framework
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.
What we’re looking for:
- Several years of experience in quantitative research within a prop shop, hedge fund, or similar trading environment
- A strong track record of generating alpha or developing systematic strategies
- Deep quantitative skills across statistics, mathematics, machine learning or a related field
- Excellent Python and strong experience working with large datasets
- Someone who thinks beyond the model, curious about why a signal works, when it stops working, and how to make it better.
- An entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to take ownership of research from idea to implementation
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why it’s interesting:
- You won’t be joining to maintain someone else’s research book.
- You’ll have the opportunity to shape the research agenda, work closely with the people actually trading the strategies, and see your ideas go from a hypothesis to real P&L.
If you’re a Senior Quant Researcher who wants more ownership, faster feedback and a closer connection between research and trading, I’d be very interested in speaking.
