AI Researcher

About the Role

As an AI Researcher at Vatic Labs in Abu Dhabi, you will research and develop innovative AI-driven quantitative trading strategies. You will explore vast amounts of market and alternative data, inventing and applying a new generation of state-of-the-art technologies that are inspired by large language models
, deep neural networks
, transformers
, and advanced prompt engineering methods to discover and capitalize on trading opportunities.

• Earned or will earn a Master’s or Ph.D. in a quantitative field, such as Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Applied Math, Statistics, Quantitative Finance, Cognitive Science, Physics or another field of science.
• Experience analyzing large data sets with rigorous statistical and ML/AI approaches, including classification
  , clustering
  , regression (linear and nonlinear),
  optimization
  , signal processing
  , filtering and smoothing
  , time-series analysis
  , hidden Markov models
  , high-dimensional data analysis
  , vector quantization
  , decision tree methods
  , EM methods
  , Bayesian methods
  , variational inference methods
  , and neural networks
  .
• Demonstration of deep knowledge of large language models and deep neural networks for practical applications (e.g.
  NLP
  , vision
  , speech
  , signal processing
  , scientific computing
  , finance
  , etc). Finance applications preferred but not necessary.
• Ability to generate impactful research in academic or professional pursuits.
• Advanced understanding and experience of practical programming languages and software tools for data analysis and ML/AI applications, such as Python
  , C++,
  Py Torch ,
  Tensorflow
  , etc.
• Interest and enthusiasm for learning about financial markets (previous experience not required).
