Job description

WorldQuant develops and deploys systematic financial strategies across a broad range of asset classes and global markets. We seek to produce high-quality predictive signals (alphas) through our proprietary research platform to employ financial strategies focused on market inefficiencies. Our teams work collaboratively to drive the production of alphas and financial strategies – the foundation of a balanced, global investment platform.

WorldQuant is built on a culture that pairs academic sensibility with accountability for results. Employees are encouraged to think openly about problems, balancing intellectualism and practicality. Excellent ideas come from anyone, anywhere. Employees are encouraged to challenge conventional thinking and possess an attitude of continuous improvement.

Our goal is to hire the best and the brightest. We value intellectual horsepower first and foremost, and people who demonstrate an outstanding talent. There is no roadmap to future success, so we need people who can help us build it.

Technologists at WorldQuant research, design, code, test and deploy projects while working collaboratively with researchers and portfolio managers. Our environment is relaxed yet intellectually driven. We seek people who think in code and are motivated by being around like-minded people.

The Role:

Monitor execution across equities, FX, Futures and other asset classes, trading in different regions.
Provide first-line support for any issues arising from the automated execution flow.
Conduct project work in areas including adding new liquidity to the execution platform and reducing the cost of implementing WorldQuant’s models.
Analyze large datasets to guide further automation and refinement of execution desk processes.
Interface directly with Portfolio Managers, Brokers, Senior Management, Compliance, Risk and many other teams.

What You’ll Bring:

Degree in a quantitative or technical discipline from a top tier institution
1+ years of work experience gained in a buy-side or sell-side institution in a Trading, DevOps or Analytics role supporting investment strategies
Enthusiasm to learn more about financial markets and execution trading
Experience with scripting languages (Python) and databases (SQL) a strong plus
