This is a unique opportunity to join a leading proprietary trading firm with an entrepreneurial and innovative culture at the heart of its business. We value quick-witted, creative minds and challenge them to make full use of their capacities.
As a Senior Research Engineer, you will be responsible for helping to lead the development of our trading model research framework and using it to conduct research to develop models for trading in production.

- Partner with Quantitative Researchers to conduct research: test hypotheses and tune/develop data-driven systematic trading strategies and alpha signals
