About the Role

You'll join the Equity Selection team, which builds machine-learning models to forecast relative stock returns. Your focus will be the alpha signals that power these models — work that combines research, economic intuition, and engineering. We care not only about finding signals that work, but also about understanding why they work. This is hands-on work: what you build drives our live strategies.

Responsibilities

  • Build and evaluate individual signals, with scope growing over time.
  • Search for and evaluate signals across datasets and investment universes, assessing statistical and economic performance.
  • Implement alpha signals by transforming raw data into robust signals within a feature computation graph, avoiding look-ahead bias.
  • Construct composite signals by combining correlated signals, weighting them by uniqueness and information content.
  • Automate the research loop using LLM/agentic tooling for signal discovery, experiment grids, and report generation.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or PhD in a quantitative field (mathematics, physics, computer science, financial engineering, statistics, or similar).
  • Solid grounding in statistics and working knowledge of econometrics.
  • Ability to reason about noisy real-world data.
  • Familiarity with collaborative Python development (Git, code review).
  • Ability to write maintainable, well-tested code (Pydantic, pytest).
  • Experience manipulating data with Polars or pandas.
  • Strong interest in financial markets and quantitative investment processes.
  • Team-oriented mindset and preference for in-office collaboration.
