Co-Head of Quantitative Research | Gurugram | Systematic Hedge Fund | $300K+ USD, TC open

We are working with a systematic hedge fund running market-neutral equity and derivatives strategies globally.

This is a producer seat with a leadership title, not a manager who used to research.

• Shape the research roadmap and push the work on modelling, data and signal construction
• Scale the team without letting the quality of alpha slip

Skills / Experience

• 5+ years in systematic equity and / or derivatives alpha research
• Proven live P&L from strategies you built - they are looking for people who can defend around $20m attributable
• Deep working knowledge of signal decay, capacity, risk and overfitting
• Strong Python and fluency with modern research / ML workflows
• Comfortable as a player-coach - still in the research seat, not hiding behind a title
• Background at a serious systematic shop is a plus
