Junior Quantum-Inspired Algo Research Engineer (Hybrid UK)

Qubitra; United Kingdom; Hybrid; GBP 38.000 - 62.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Qubitra is an early-stage company developing quantum and quantum-inspired software for financial institutions. As a Junior Algo Research Engineer, you will join a small, senior team and work at the intersection of quantitative research and production engineering to turn ideas into robust, backtested, deployable code.

You will build algorithms, data pipelines, and simulation tools and collaborate with quantum scientists to bring research into live trading environments.

Qualifikationen

• Strong programming ability in Python and quantitative methods.
• Exposure to machine learning and an interest in optimisation and simulation.
• Experience in developing trading algorithms.
