Job description

Researcher

Build the future of investment management with us

The infrastructure managing $300 trillion in assets was built in the 90s. Now, all of it is up for grabs. The winner of the AI era of investment management will be a $100B+ company. We intend to be that company.

To get there, we're assembling the most talent-dense startup in New York. We hire people who are 1) exceptional, 2) allergic to anything that's not exceptional, and 3) recruiters of other exceptional people. We also have no tolerance for brilliant jerks.

We run lean by design. We work with a select group of the largest financial institutions in the world, go incredibly deep with each, and sit in the flow of trillions of dollars. We hire fewer people, ask each to own the outcome, and pay on impact - not tenure or experience.

Moment is not for everyone. The standards are unreasonably high. The pace is intense. And there is no playbook.

In return: the best work of your career, building a generational company.

About Moment

Moment is the AI operating system for investment management, built for the world's largest wealth firms and fintechs. Moment works with firms managing more than $10 trillion in client assets and is backed by Index, a16z, and Lightspeed. Moment was founded by former quants from Citadel and Jane Street and is based in NYC.

The Role

The research team works on problems like the following:

Running 100K+ variable portfolio optimizations in seconds.
Developing machine learning models to estimate relative value and future outperformance in fixed income securities.
Developing risk models to estimate the tracking error between portfolios.
Building AI agents to automatically perform credit research, automatically build custom portfolios, and automate other core portfolio management tasks.

You’re a good fit if you have

Experience as a quant researcher or quant trader. We are excited to interview strong candidates from outside of the quant trading industry as well.
Bachelor’s degree or PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Economics, or Computer Science.
Written production‑grade code in Python.
The ability to just figure stuff out.
Eagerness to work closely with customers. As a researcher at Moment, you are also your own product manager.

Even better if you have
