Job description

This is not a “build models and hand them off” quant role.

I’m working with a $12B+ AUM hedge fund that is expanding its commodities platform and looking for a quantitative researcher/trader to work directly across Power & Energy and Natural Gas.

The mandate sits right at the intersection of research, trading and P&L - developing systematic signals, uncovering market inefficiencies, building forecasting models and turning quantitative research into actionable trades.

You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with experienced traders and portfolio managers, with genuine exposure to the investment process and capital allocation rather than operating in a silo.

What you'll do:

• Quantitative research across Power / Energy / Natural Gas
• Fundamental + systematic data analysis
• Translating research into live trading strategies
• Working closely with traders/PMs on portfolio construction and risk

We’re looking for someone with:

• A background in commodities, energy, power or natural gas is highly relevant
• Strong Python/C++/R or similar programming skills
• Experience taking ideas from research through to implementation
• A genuine interest in markets and trading

New York or Houston

If you’re a quant researcher/trader who wants to work closer to the capital, the trader and ultimately the P&L, this is one worth discussing.
