Quantitative Researcher - Experienced

Position: Quantitative Researcher - Experienced Hires (USA)
Trexquant is a systematic hedge fund where we use thousands of statistical algorithms to trade equity, futures and other markets globally. Starting with many data sets, we develop large sets of features and use various machine learning methods to discover trading signals and effectively combine them into market-neutral portfolios. We are looking for data scientists, physicists, engineers, economists and programmers to develop the next generation of machine learning strategies that can accurately predict the future movements of liquid financial assets.

As a Quantitative Researcher you will be involved in developing market-neutral signals, parsing and analyzing large data sets and collaborating with the Data and Strategy Research team to build a diverse set of predictive models. While we are open to researchers in any asset class we are currently focusing on roles in equities, futures, commodities, and event driven research.

Responsibilities

* Design, implement, and optimize various machine learning models aimed at predicting liquid assets using a wide set of financial data and a vast library of trading signals.

* Parse and analyze large datasets to identify actionable alpha signals and develop strategies for systematic trading.

* Investigate and implement state-of-the-art academic research in the field of quantitative finance.

* Continuously innovate and improve existing models by integrating new data sources and advanced techniques to boost performance and scalability.

* Collaborate closely with a team of experienced quantitative researchers to conduct experiments, backtest hypotheses, and refine strategies through rigorous simulations and data analysis.
