Location: New York or London
Industry: Hedge Funds
Travel: Hybrid

A well-established buy‑side investment platform is looking to add a Quantitative Researcher to a desk‑facing environment supporting complex, multi‑asset strategies with a strong credit bias. The role is intentionally flexible on level and suited to someone who enjoys working close to investment decision‑making – translating market intuition and trade ideas into robust, scalable quantitative frameworks. The emphasis is on practical research, not academic isolation.

• Act as a quantitative partner to senior investment professionals, helping turn ideas into actionable analytics
• Enhance and evolve internal research frameworks used to analyse relative value, risk, and pricing across complex instruments
• Build reusable research components and libraries that support both discretionary and systematic approaches
• Explore new datasets, methodologies, and signals to improve trade selection and portfolio construction
• Stress‑test ideas through structured analysis rather than one‑off experiments
• Improve the reliability, speed, and usability of existing research workflows
• Contribute to longer‑term projects focused on scaling quantitative insight across strategies
• Share findings clearly, whether through code, written summaries, or discussion with stakeholders

• Strong programming capability in Python
  ; additional low‑level or performance‑focused experience welcomed
• Background in a quantitative research, trading, or analytics role within a professional investment environment
• Advanced academic training in a numerate discipline
• Familiarity with fixed income or credit‑style instruments helpful, but depth in one area valued over broad exposure
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving priorities

Highly competitive base salary with performance‑linked bonus and comprehensive benefits.
