- Strong Python skills; experience with C++ or kdb+/q is a plus

- Deep understanding of statistics, time series analysis, and machine learning

- Experience with market data, backtesting frameworks, and statistical software

- Excellent written communication and methodological rigor

What You'll Bring

- Curiosity about how models behave and why they fail

- Rigor in following guidelines and flagging ambiguity early

- Strong written communication, including ability to document findings clearly

- Comfort working asynchronously across time zones

What We Offer

- Fully remote, flexible work hours

- Performance-based bonus structure

- Annual learning & development stipend

- Health and wellness benefits (varies by location)

- Opportunity to work on high-scale, real-world impact projects
