  • Collaborate closely with the CIO, traders, and researchers to interpret back-test results and translate findings into actionable improvements.
  • Continuously monitor and refine models based on changing market conditions, feedback from live trading, and performance diagnostics.
  • Document research methodologies, results, and assumptions thoroughly for transparency and regulatory compliance.
  • Automate data pipelines to support high-throughput back-tests and large-scale parameter sweeps.
  • Present analysis and optimization outcomes to both technical and non-technical stakeholders with clear visualizations and explanations.

Requirements:

  • Advanced degree (Master's or PhD preferred) in Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Computer Science, Finance, or related field.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, R, MATLAB, or C++; demonstrated experience with back-testing libraries and platforms (e.g., QuantLib, Zipline, Backtrader).
  • Deep understanding of statistical analysis, probability theory, and time-series analysis relevant to financial markets.
  • Hands-on experience designing, back-testing, and optimizing trading models (preferably in equities, FX, commodities, or derivatives).
  • Ability to assess model performance using relevant quantitative metrics; skilled in scenario analysis and parameter optimization.
  • Familiarity with a variety of trading strategies (e.g., mean-reversion, momentum, arbitrage) and their risk exposures.
  • Effective at documenting and presenting complex analytical work to diverse audiences.
  • Exposure to high-frequency trading environments, data management tools, and cloud-based compute resources.
