Role overview

One of the world's fastest growing quantitative hedge funds, that employs artificial intelligence and machine learning to help develop their investment strategies.

We champion a disciplined, collaborative, scientific approach which allows us to meet the immediate needs of the business, while innovating in a way that is constantly forward-looking and future-reaching.
