Quantitative Researcher

Saragossa is partnered with a quantitative hedge fund that is relatively new to the scene but has achieved remarkable early success since they began trading, attracting significant investor activity this year. They are seeking a Quantitative Researcher to join their lean and world-class team in Chicago or New York. In this role, you would have the opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing company, developing proprietary models and strategies for all trading processes.

While they have been trading equities thus far, the firm is looking to diversify across asset classes, derivatives, trade frequency, and global markets.

The firm has consciously deviated from the typical, buttoned-up hedge fund environment, creating a workplace specifically designed for researchers and developers. This fosters a much calmer and more casual atmosphere. The CEO, one of the most successful quant strategists to date, even sits in the open office space alongside the researchers.

Key responsibilities include utilizing various financial and non-financial datasets to build or refine predictive models, applying cutting-edge statistical and machine-learning techniques to enhance research and development efforts, and creating algorithms to monetize predictive indicators.

If you are looking to work with some of the best in the industry, at a firm that prioritizes its people and their well-being, we encourage you to apply.
