  • Conduct empirical ML research across multiple problem domains, rapidly prototyping and iterating novel architectures in Python/PyTorch/TensorFlow to solve challenging market problems
  • Apply logical and mathematical reasoning to translate cutting-edge research methods between application areas. Adapt techniques from your area of expertise to achieve breakthrough results in the financial markets
  • Partner with quantitative traders, researchers, and developers across teams to transform market insights into actionable data features and predictive models

The Candidate

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.
