A $9bbn Quant Hedge Fund in NYC is looking for an Execution Quant Researcher to drive PnL across various Systematic Equity PMs on their platform. The QR will join a well-established team and partner with several PMs to improve PnL within their portfolios via market impact/portfolio analysis/trading intelligence, short term alpha via execution, liquidity research, algorithm development and pre/post trade analysis.
The Quant Researher will immediately add value by joining this high-visibility team as they work alongside Senior PMs on a daily basis. While the team has already made definitive strides within their execution team, they are looking to further bolster their numbers by incorporating someone experience and eager to identify novel ways in which the fund can further increase profit streams.
The ideal candidate for the Quant Research seat will have:
- 5+ years experience working on a CRB, Algo and/or Execution desk (sellside or buyside)
- Strong Python and SQL skillset (KDB is a plus but not mandatory)
- Deep knowledge of US and Global Equity markets
- Desire to work close to market
- Strong communication skillset
- Advanced STEM degree (MS or PhD is strongly preferred)
