Responsibilities
- Design, research, and validate systematic alpha factors across price, order book, funding, flow, and microstructure data
- Build and maintain a structured alpha research pipeline (data feature signal evaluation iteration)
- Conduct factor analysis including IC, IR, decay, stability, regime sensitivity, and turnover analysis
- Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure research outputs are production-ready
- Continuously iterate and improve existing alpha signals, even if historical performance has decayed
- Explore AI-assisted research workflows for factor generation, feature selection, and hypothesis exploration (bonus)
Requirements
- 3+ years of quantitative research experience in systematic trading, alpha research, or related fields
- Strong proficiency in Python, with hands-on experience using Jupyter Notebook as a primary research environment
- Solid understanding of the end-to-end alpha research process, including: Data cleaning & normalization, Feature engineering, Factor construction, Signal evaluation & validation.
- Have built and operated a complete alpha research framework (personal or professional)
- Proven experience discovering alpha factors with strong historical predictive power, e.g.: 1. Information Coefficient (IC) consistently above 0.05 0.1 on daily frequency or higher IC on lower-frequency signals with reasonable stability (factors that later decayed are acceptable, as long as the original research process was sound)
- Strong analytical thinking and ability to explain why a factor works, not just that it works
Nice to have
- Experience using AI / ML models (e.g. tree models, neural networks, representation learning) for alpha research
- Hands-on experience with local deployment of AI models (not just calling APIs)
- Familiarity with AI-assisted factor discovery workflows (feature generation, signal screening, regime detection, etc.)
- Background in crypto, derivatives, or high-frequency / microstructure-driven markets
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
