  • Analyse large, complex datasets to discover actionable insights.
  • Build, test and optimise algorithmic trading strategies.
  • Challenge the efficient market hypothesis using state‑of‑the‑art machine‑learning techniques.
  • Collaborate with engineers and fellow researchers to deliver end‑to‑end solutions.
Qualifications
  • Record of academic achievement in mathematics, physics, machine learning, computer science or engineering.
  • PhD or post‑doctoral experience preferred but not mandatory.
  • Strong background in statistics, programming (Python, C++, Java, etc.) and optimisation.
  • No prior finance experience required; passion for data‑driven research is essential.
Benefits

Alongside highly competitive compensation and an annual discretionary bonus scheme, we offer a wide range of benefits and perks tailored to your needs. From health and family to lifestyle and more, we take care of our people.
