We are retained by a stealth, elite quantitative investment firm building a world-class research platform at the intersection of machine learning, generative AI, and quantitative finance. Backed by exceptional capital and leadership, this start-up environment offers the freedom and resources to pursue frontier AI research with real-world deployment.
We are seeking an outstanding Machine Learning Researcher to join a small, highly selective research team.
Role Overview
You will work at the cutting edge of modern AI—designing, training, and scaling state-of-the-art ML and GenAI systems. This is a deeply research-driven role with direct ownership of ambitious problems and access to significant compute and data. This will result in building strategies for trading Equities, Options and Crypto.
Key Responsibilities
- Train large-scale ML and generative AI systems end-to-end, from raw data processing through fine-tuning and evaluation
- Develop novel AI / ML architectures, including transformer-based and generative models
- Train state-of-the-art systems across supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning
- Explore and curate new datasets to extract novel signal and drive performance
- Contribute to original research and long-term AI strategy alongside elite researchers
Required Background
Proven experience training ML models end-to-end, from data pipelines to fine-tuningStrong hands-on experience across transformers, generative models, and reinforcement learningPublications in top-tier ML venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, JMLR, or equivalent)Strong PythonPhD / MSc or equivalent research experience from a top-tier academic institution for example (but not limited to) :
