Founded in 2005 as an options market maker, we have organically grown into a global investment firm specializing in Fundamental Equities, Quant, and Volatility strategies.

At Walleye, we continuously innovate by focusing on three core principles: approach, platform, and people. Our approach is to allocate risk capital where we believe there is not only a compelling opportunity, but also a clear ability to define our tangible edge. We seek to leverage the mathematical benefits of diversification while utilizing sophisticated infrastructure, technology, and our balance sheet to do so in a structurally advantageous way. Our platform, developed over two decades, is central to our operations—evolving alongside business complexities and technological advancements to support our team’s success. Our people are our greatest asset, and we’ve cultivated an environment that attracts top talent by balancing autonomy with collaboration, and intelligence with integrity.

Position Overview

Walleye Capital is hiring an Investment Intelligence Associate for its New York office, reporting to the Head of Investment Intelligence within Central Equity Quant Research (CEQR). Investment Intelligence sets what the in-house investment platform should do for PMs and analysts, what comes first, and whether it works. This associate will help deliver and improve the platform, drive adoption across investment teams, keep priorities current, and measure its impact.

Responsibilities

• Work with engineering teams to turn direction into an ordered plan and serve as the product voice when decisions are needed.
• Run prioritization: gather requests from PMs and analysts, maintain a ranked view of work in progress, and document what will not be done and why.
• Keep product, engineering, AI Engineering, and investment teams connected.
• Help PMs and analysts adopt the platform through onboarding, updates as tools change, and clear channels for reporting problems early.
• Evaluate search, synthesis, and recommendation quality, and identify data the teams need but do not have.
• Use the platform daily and write specifications, decisions, and updates that others can act on.

Qualifications

• Two to five years in buy-side long/short research, and/or in a technical or AI product role requiring real market knowledge.
• A degree in finance, economics, computer science, engineering, or another quantitative field, or equivalent experience. A CFA is welcome but not required.
• Fluency in fundamental equities: ability to read filings, follow earnings models, and discuss exposure, crowding, and conviction.
• Technical fluency, including comfort with SQL, an understanding of how systems fit together and why, and the ability to work alongside AI coding agents.
• Regular use of AI in your own work, with a habit of following frontier lab releases, testing them, and forming an independent view.
• Initiative to explore existing tools, find problems without an obvious owner, and explain ideas you tested and later dropped.
• Clear writing under time pressure and the ability to acknowledge mistakes in front of a PM without becoming defensive.
• Ability to start without a fully formed ticket and bring a considered view to priorities and processes.
