Quantitative analysis · ML alpha research

You research machine learning and statistical methods that find patterns in data a trading firm can trade on.

Alpha is the return a strategy earns beyond what the market as a whole gives, so alpha research means hunting for signals that predict where prices go next. ML is machine learning, where a computer learns patterns from past data rather than following rules written by hand. This seat sits among the firm's quant researchers, the people who design trading strategies with maths and code. It also builds statistical tools that other teams across the firm use on their own data problems.
