Quantitative Researcher
We're currently working with a leading systematic hedge fund to identify a Monetisation Quant Researcher to join their high-performing EMM team. This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of quant research, trading infrastructure, and alpha capture - playing a pivotal role in bridging signal generation and live deployment.
The Role:
You'll be part of a fast-paced, cross-functional environment, working closely with quant researchers, technologists, and traders to drive the monetisation of short-horizon alpha signals. The focus is on maximising PnL by improving execution workflows, refining strategy implementation, and continuously evaluating real-world performance against research expectations.
Responsibilities:
Design, implement, and monitor signal monetisation frameworks for intraday and short-horizon strategies
Translate alpha research into executable trading logic, working across portfolio construction, execution, and risk controls
Collaborate with trading and technology teams to fine-tune execution algorithms and trading infrastructure
Track strategy performance in production, identify slippage or alpha decay, and iterate in real time
Contribute to the development of tooling and dashboards for live performance diagnostics
Ideal Candidate:
- Coming from a competing Tier 1 Hedge Fund / Prop Trading Firm
Strong academic background in a quantitative discipline (e.g. Physics, Maths, Computer Science)
Solid experience in systematic equities, particularly short-term or intraday signals
Deep understanding of execution, transaction cost analysis (TCA), and real-world slippage dynamics
Proficient coding skills in Python or similar, with the ability to work across research and production environments
- Exposure to Advanced AI/ML models (Transformers, RL, LCMs, GenAI)
Clear commercial mindset and a passion for driving alpha realisation, not just signal generation
Why Apply?
Work in one of the most commercially-impactful quant seats on the floor
Exposure to the full strategy lifecycle: from research to real PnL
High-performing team culture with tight feedback loops and real ownership
Competitive comp structure, high upside, and top-tier platform support
