Alpha Researcher

I'm partnering with several quantitative trading firms that are building out their quant research & systematic trading departments after a very successful FY 2025. The opportunities range from alpha research QR roles where you'll maintain ownership and PnL attribution to senior desk head quant trading seats where you can build orthogonal trading businesses. Below highlights more info on the respective firms:

#1 - Stat Arb Quant Hedge Fund in NYC: We partnered with the Founder of a quant hedge fund that has over a decade of quant PM experience at tier-1 hedge funds specializes in trading global equities. His fund offers a collaborative environment where you'll report to the Founder directly on iterating new trading strategies, though also gives autonomy to scale a sizable portfolio utilizing their in-house an robust trading platform. Note the Founder will offer a clearly defined PnL cut and is keen to bring on experienced PMs or experienced QRs who back themselves to manage risk.

#2 - Quant Prop Trading firm (NY and/or Remote): We work directly with the founding team/C-suite members of a NYC based prop trading group that specializes in trading high to medium frequency trading strategies across Equities, Futures, Crypto, and FX products. The business has grown their trading team more than 2x over the last 12-24 months, and is keen to add experienced quant researchers/traders to continue to build robust high sharpe (3+) strategies into their portfolio. Note if you have experienced as a quant trader/PM, the Founding team is also open to giving a clearly defined PnL cut that aligns with the Sharpe. Top deals for high single digit Sharpe(s) can go upward to 40%, while still offering a base salary. If you're keen to work in a fast pace, collaborative, and growing business, please reach out for more details!
