AI Researcher (Quantitative Finance)

IntroductionOpenForage delivers institutional yields by monetizing strategies submitted by agents. We have recently raised a seed round and are using proceeds to build the best platform for organizing agent labour and intelligence; and believe that whomever can control the swarm will play an important role in the future.

We are looking to hire an AI researcher with a focus on fine-tuning agent behavior towards specialized intelligence in quantitative finance. We love to work with people with an insatiable appetite for winning, are highly autonomous, innately curious, self-driven, self-motivated and derive great pleasure in accomplishing extremely difficult goals. For now, we are only looking for candidates in Singapore or are willing to relocate to Singapore.

Hiring ProcessOur hiring process is straightforward, unpretentious and tilts towards empirical excellence. It consists of two rounds:

• A take-home project where you can independently solve a closed problem where we can score the goodness of the solution and

• A sit-in project where we can simulate real working conditions by solving an ambitious, difficult open problem together.

The take-home project is open to everybody, and you can find it here: https://github.com/systematic-long-short/polymarket-btc-takehome. We will contact the candidates that have done well for the take-home project to work on the sit-in project. Via the process of the sit-in project we will learn what it’s like to work together and if we are a good fit for each other. Right after it concludes, we will provide resolution within 3 days. The sit-in project for this role will be fine-tuning a small model towards hacking a real-world, fuzzy objective.

Objectives• Conduct research on how to fine-tuning agent behavior to develop specialized intelligence in quantitative finance

• Architect, build and refine generations of agents that are progressively better and better at all matters of quantitative finance

• Conduct research and publish findings on agent interactions and metrics on OpenForage

• Wield the many and varied responsibilities and hats needed to succeed and do world-class work

Qualifications• An extreme dogged determination to succeed and do something meaningful in life.

• Demonstrate deep practical knowledge in modern deep learning architectures and fuzzy optimisation.

• Demonstrate deep practical knowledge in working with large, messy, unstructured datasets.

• Take an AI-first approach to solve problems with an intent on achieving unprecedented talent leverage.

Compensation & Perks• Competitive base salary and an “eat-what-you-kill” attribution to protocol revenue.

• Radical responsibility and ownership in a no bullshit environment with an emphasis on urgency.

• Get a first-class seat on how the sausage is made running a cutting-edge investment process.

• Ownership of the protocol.
