Our AI team is a central R&D group comprised of quantitative researchers, engineers, and ML experts leading LLM research and applications at Jump. Our mission is to combine emerging techniques and models with original research to generate signals from unstructured data.

What You’ll Do:

We are seeking research scientists with a demonstrated ability to apply machine learning to achieve state-of-the-art capabilities in complex and challenging domains. The ideal person for this role will be capable of leading an open-ended research project from concept to production: finding compelling problems well suited to current and projected LLM capabilities, collaborating extensively with trading teams to understand requirements and constraints, and continuously improving model design, tools, and infrastructure. Potential projects may target any area of the quantitative research process with the potential for firmwide application. We believe that successful research efforts require a fluid mix of skills including ML expertise, engineering pragmatism, and market intuition, and welcome all candidates who can demonstrate brilliance in one area, competence in a second, and enthusiasm for the third.

Other duties as assigned or needed.
