You should have experience with:
Equity statistical arbitrage datasets, including core market data (Bloomberg, Refinitv, Fact Set)

Large-scale time series data and cross-sectional datasets
Building data systems that support both research and production workflows
Technical Skills
Experience with databases, data lakes, or columnar storage
Familiarity with cloud-based or distributed systems
Solid understanding of market data structures for equities and futures
Why Join?
