York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 5/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/16/2027

A close systematic trading fund client is looking to add a high-calibre Quantitative Researcher to their team. This is a front-office role with direct PnL exposure, giving genuine ownership of the full research process — from signal generation through to live deployment.

The fund offers a strong PnL cut with clear performance-based upside, supported by institutional-quality infrastructure and the agility of a small, high-performing team. Researchers have access to excellent data, tooling, and compute, with the freedom to shape strategy direction where they see opportunity.


Key Requirements:

  • Proven track record of alpha generation at a leading prop desk or hedge fund
  • Strong research and statistical modelling skills
  • Proficiency in Python, C or a similar language
  • Ability to take strategies from concept to production
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort operating in a lean, fast-moving environment


Conversations will be handled in strict confidence.
