Trexquant is a systematic hedge fund where we use thousands of statistical algorithms to trade equity, futures and other markets globally. Starting with many data sets, we develop large sets of features and use various machine learning methods to discover trading signals and effectively combine them into market-neutral portfolios. We are looking for data scientists, physicists, engineers, economists and programmers to develop the next generation of machine learning strategies that can accurately predict the future movements of liquid financial assets.Our Quantitative Researchers are embedded within the following teams:Alpha Researcher:As a member of the Alpha Researcher team, you will be involved in developing market-neutral signals, parsing and analyzing large data sets and collaborating with the Data and Strategy Research team to build a diverse set of predictive models.Data Scientist:As a member of the Data Science team, you will be involved in parsing and analyzing large data sets, working on discovering and obtaining new sources of data and collaborating with the Alpha and Strategy team to build predictive machine learning models.Strategy Researcher:As a member of the Strategy team, you will be developing systematic strategies based on a variety of machine learning and statistical methods. The data you train and validate comes from actual market tradingWhen you apply for a Quantitative Researcher role at Trexquant, we will first assess you on the core skills required for the Quantitative Researcher.
