Requirements

What we look for:

  • Recently graduated, or graduating this year, with a PhD in a highly quantitative discipline (e.g. Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering or another quantitative field)
  • A keen interest in finance
  • Excellent quantitative and analytical skills accompanied by critical thinking and intellectual curiosity
  • Experience with programming (e.g. Python/C++)
  • A consistently strong academic record
  • An interest in working in a highly dynamic environment

Benefits

Capula is dedicated to helping all employees flourish in their roles by supporting your professional development.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
