  • 2+ years of experience in quantitative research, preferably within futures markets.
  • Passion for machine learning.
  • Proficiency in programming languages like Python and statistical modeling.
  • Strong problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Benefits
