• Deploying quantitative models and signals using high‑performance computing infrastructure.
• Processing and integrating a wide range of structured and unstructured datasets.
• Designing and implementing GenAI/LLM‑powered solutions to accelerate research, automate reporting, and support decision‑making across the investment domain.

This position is well‑suited to someone who enjoys working directly with researchers, values technical innovation, and thrives in an entrepreneurial and collaborative environment.

What We're Looking For

• An academic background in a quantitative discipline (e.g., Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Econometrics).
• Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, PySpark, Rust, C#).
• At least 6 years of experience in the investment or asset‑management industry; prior experience as a quant developer or in an AI‑focused technical role is highly preferred.
• Familiarity with modern data ecosystems and cloud technologies (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, Azure).
• Genuine enthusiasm for applying advanced technologies, including generative AI, to real‑world investment challenges.
• Already living in and eligible to work within the European Union.

Working in this team places you at the crossroads of finance, technology, and innovation. You will directly influence how investment research is conducted, how strategies are implemented, and how data and AI are leveraged across the organization. The role offers significant ownership, room for technical exploration, and meaningful impact on investment processes.
