A

global multi-strategy hedge fund

is seeking a

Cross-Asset Quantitative Researcher

to develop and enhance models that drive investment decisions across equities, fixed income, FX, and commodities. This is a high-impact role for a researcher who thrives at the intersection of

mathematics, markets, and machine learning —someone who doesn’t just build models, but shapes how capital is deployed.

You’ll join a collaborative team of PMs, quants, and technologists who live and breathe data. The environment is meritocratic, fast-moving, and wired for scale—where good ideas get capital and results matter more than titles.

What You’ll Do

Research, design, and implement

systematic alpha strategies

across multiple asset classes and time horizons.

Develop predictive models using advanced statistical, econometric, and ML techniques.

Analyze market microstructure and cross-asset relationships to uncover

relative-value and macro-driven opportunities.

Collaborate with Portfolio Managers, Data Engineers, and Technologists to bring research into production.

Conduct

signal validation, risk analysis, and performance attribution

for existing and new strategies.

Work with large, complex datasets from both traditional and alternative sources; identify new data streams that can drive alpha.

Optimize execution algorithms, portfolio construction, and hedging techniques.

Document research and maintain reproducible, well-structured code and analysis pipelines.

What You Bring

3–8 years

of experience in quantitative research or trading within a hedge fund, bank, or proprietary trading environment.

Advanced degree (PhD or Master’s) in a quantitative discipline such as

Applied Math, Physics, Statistics, Computer Science, or Financial Engineering.

Deep understanding of

financial markets and instruments

across asset classes.

Proficiency in

Python

(preferred), C++, or similar; familiarity with high-performance computing and data visualization tools.

Demonstrated ability to translate theory into practical trading models and signals.

Experience with

alpha research, risk modeling, portfolio optimization, and execution analytics.

Creative, detail-oriented, and relentless in testing, validating, and refining ideas.

Why It’s Worth a Conversation

Work alongside

elite quants and PMs

in one of the most data-driven, high-performance environments in finance.

Access to cutting-edge infrastructure, massive data sets, and institutional-scale research resources.

Competitive

payout structure

and real opportunity to turn ideas into deployed capital.

Culture that rewards intellectual honesty, collaboration, and measurable impact.
