• Advanced Analytics: Apply machine learning, natural language processing, and time-series forecasting to financial and alternative datasets.
• Data Engineering Collaboration: Partner with data engineers to ensure data pipelines and infrastructure are scalable, reliable, and optimized for research.
• Business Impact: Translate complex data findings into actionable insights for executives, traders, and global stakeholders.
• Mentorship: Share knowledge of statistical methodology, ML techniques, and applied research best practices with junior team members.

• Professional Experience: 6+ years of applied data science experience, preferably in finance, technology, or similarly data-rich industries.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python, R, or Scala, with strong SQL expertise; experience with ML libraries such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
• Statistical Foundation: Strong knowledge of probability, econometrics, experimental design, and causal inference.
• Financial Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with markets, risk modeling, or portfolio optimization is highly desirable (but not strictly required).
• Big Data Tools: Experience working with large-scale distributed systems (Spark, Hadoop, or cloud-native data platforms).
• Collaboration: Ability to work effectively with quantitative researchers, engineers, and business leaders in a global setting.
• Education: Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.

Why Join

This is a unique opportunity to apply cutting-edge data science to problems of global financial significance.
