Quantitative Researcher

I’m working with a highly successful 30-person proprietary trading firm in NYC, founded by former Two Sigma researchers and backed by a team of Harvard and MIT PhDs. They’re looking for a Quantitative Researcher to develop intraday strategies across equities, futures, or options. You’ll have the autonomy to own the full research lifecycle, from idea generation and signal development to backtesting, portfolio construction, and live deployment. They’re open to researchers with anywhere from 2-10 years of experience who have: Developed alpha signals or systematic trading strategies Strong foundations in statistics, mathematics, and Python A practical understanding of transaction costs, market impact, and strategy robustness The firm offers total compensation packages of approximately $1M–$1.5M for exceptional candidates, with potential direct P&L participation. They can also provide sign-on packages, buy out deferred compensation, and accommodate non-competes of up to 15 months. If you’ve built research that has translated into live trading and want more ownership, stronger infrastructure, and meaningful upside, I’d be glad to share further details confidentially. #J-18808-Ljbffr
