AI / ML Research Scientist – Deploy Frontier Intelligence in Live Markets

At most labs, your models inform products or papers. Here, they make real-time decisions with capital behind them. This fund is one of the most profitable trading firms in the world—built on deep data, elite engineering, and a culture that gives top researchers full ownership and zero bureaucracy.

You’ll design and deploy intelligence systems that adapt to non-stationary, adversarial environments. You’ll work with massive proprietary datasets, build architectures optimized for speed and robustness, and see the impact of your work in live PnL—not slide decks.

No “research-to-nowhere.” You own the loop: design → train → deploy → iterate.

You’ll collaborate with some of the strongest quants and engineers in the industry. You’ll have the compute, the data, and the autonomy to push the edge of what’s possible. If you can execute, scope and compensation scale fast.


You’re a fit if you’ve:

  • Built advanced models (transformers, RL, generative, etc.)
  • Taken ideas from first principles to working systems
  • Thrived in competitive, high-performance environments
  • Proven you can solve hard problems without hand-holding
  • Finance experience is optional—technical excellence is not


AI is about to reshape trading the way HFT reshaped markets. The firms that merge frontier research with live execution will win. This team is already doing it.ely and you’re ready to operate without a safety net, this is the most leveraged seat you’ll find.

Salary : $150,000 - $300,000

If your compensation planning software is too rigid to deploy winning incentive strategies, it’s time to find an adaptable solution. Compensation Planning
