What we’re looking for
  • PhD in computer science, machine learning, mathematics, physics, statistics, or a related field
  • Strong track record of applying ML in academic or industry settings, with 5+ years of experience building impactful deep learning systems
  • A strong publication record in top-tier conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, or ICLR

  • Strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, and algorithm design
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with a creative, research-driven mindset
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in team-oriented environments
  • A passion for solving complex problems and a drive to innovate in a fast-paced, competitive environment

What we offer

  • Collaborate with a world-class team of researchers, engineers, and traders

  • Directly impact real-time trading performance through your work
  • Thrive in a collaborative, intellectually rigorous environment with a global footprint
