Quantitative Researcher

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCHER - NEW YORK & AUSTIN

Global market maker hiring PhDs into both offices.

What you’d be doing:

• Applying statistical methods to spot patterns and build predictive models
• Researching and implementing new trading strategies
• Pulling apart existing strategies to find what can be improved
• Building risk models and the frameworks around them
• Writing the tooling that makes research faster

Who they want:

• PhD in maths, physics, statistics, engineering or another quantitative field
• Strong academic record and a broad, difficult set of coursework behind it
• Python and C/C++
• Able to put ideas into mathematics and into code
• Someone who handles ambiguity well and works it out rather than waiting to be told]
• A quant internship is preferable

They would rather hire a strong researcher and teach them markets than take someone already shaped by another shop.

You’d sit with traders and engineers rather than off in a separate research function, with real exposure to teams across their other offices.

$175,000 - $200,000 base plus bonus. Relocation covered, and they can sponsor.

Finishing in 2026 or 2027, both work.
