$/yr - $1,/yr

We’re hiring for one of the most elite hedge funds in the world. This is a top 1 percent performer with a long history of sustained out performance across market cycles. The firm is New York based, globally active, and built around small, autonomous teams where research directly drives capital allocation.

This is not an ivory‑tower research seat. Your work moves quickly from idea to simulation to live capital. There are no academic dead ends, no endless committees, and no separation between research and execution. If your models work, they trade. If they don’t, you move on fast.

The culture is intense, meritocratic, and low ego. Researchers are judged on signal quality, robustness, and real‑world performance. Ownership is real, feedback is immediate, and impact compounds.

You’ll research, develop, and deploy systematic trading signals and models used in live strategies. This includes data analysis, signal construction, portfolio construction, and close collaboration with quant developers and traders to ensure research translates cleanly into production.

You are expected to think like an investor and execute like an engineer. This is a seat for people who want full accountability for alpha, not just publishing notebooks.
