Job description

We tackle the most complex problems in quantitative finance, by bringing scientific clarity to financial complexity. From our London HQ, we unite world‑class researchers and engineers in an environment that values deep exploration and methodical execution – because the best ideas take time to evolve. Together we’re building a world‑class platform to amplify our teams’ most powerful ideas. Join a research team where curiosity meets scale. You’ll investigate foundational questions, uncover market insights and push the boundaries of what’s possible – all with the support of near‑limitless compute and world‑class peers. Take the next step in your career.

About the Role

Our researchers use the latest scientific techniques and advanced statistical analysis methods to predict movement in global financial markets. This requires them to harness massive compute power and use state‑of‑the‑art ML techniques to find innovative solutions, as textbook methods won’t beat the competition. We are looking to hire an experienced fundamental analyst, with a strong quantitative background, who is interested in transitioning to a more quantitative role, while still leveraging your industry experience. This is a pure research role where you will be able to develop and test your ideas with real‑world data in an academic environment. Using your financial knowledge and analytical skills, you will help build mathematical models of price movements based on a broad array of data inputs.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking individuals with a passion for and keen interest in financial markets. The ideal candidate will have solid quantitative and computing skills, backed up by a strong background in fundamental equity research. For example, this might be someone already working in the discretionary space, who enjoys the mathematical and data side of things, and is interested in making the step across into the quantitative world. In particular, we want to hear from highly motivated candidates with the following skills and experience:

• Knowledge of financial markets from a strong career background in fundamental equity research.
• Some coding ability or the motivation to rapidly learn.
• Solid maths background gained from experience in studying maths, physics or a related STEM subject.
• Enthusiastic about making the change to a quantitative role.

Benefits

• Highly competitive compensation plus annual discretionary bonus.
• Lunch provided (via Just Eat for Business) and dedicated barista bar.
• 35 days’ annual leave.
• 9% company pension contributions.
• Informal dress code and excellent work/life balance.
• Comprehensive healthcare and life assurance.
• Cycle-to-work scheme.
• Monthly company events.
