About the role
Scale and productionize quantitative research code, build and evaluate agentic AI research pipelines, automate workflows, and migrate existing R code to Python. Collaborate with senior researchers on return-forecasting signals and empirical evaluation, progressing toward independent ownership of research questions. Typically requires three to seven years of relevant experience, exceptional production-quality Python skills, working proficiency in R, strong understanding of AI/LLM pipelines, and knowledge of capital markets. Candidates should have exposure to quantitative research, modern software engineering practices, and a clear ambition to develop into a researcher; a postgraduate quantitative qualification or comparable research capability is also sought.
