Job Description

tl;dr: looking for ML researcher with trading experience to build powerful quantitative models that trade and accelerate scientific discovery.

Historically, quantitative models—such as trading models—are domain specific. Brilliant people spend their best years testing features, tuning hyperparameters, and iterating architectures within a narrow domain. But scale is the panacea: large models will find patterns people, and specialized models, could not. Forecasting generalizes.

For now, our models trade.

About You

We’re looking for ML researchers. You’d be joining a team of 4. You may be a good fit if you:

  • Are comfortable with ambiguity and open-ended research
  • Prefer working on hard problems with a small team over incremental work at a large org
  • Enjoy research autonomy

We are a fully in-person company, must be willing to relocate to NYC. Able to sponsor TN or E3 visas.
