A Quantitative Portfolio Manager focused on Equity Stat Arb trading is looking for a ML Quant Researcher to join their team in San Francisco. The PM has 10+ years of experience building consistently profitable signals across US and Global Equity markets and is looking for someone who can successfully leverage non-linear methods to build trading signals that are orthogonal to their pre-existing core strategies.
This role is unique given the PM is open to strong talent coming from industry, tech or academia (PhD/Postdoc-level) as long as they have demonstrated the ability to tackle high-impact research in the machine learning space and have an innate interest in the technical projects that exist in quant finance.
