• Signal & Data Research: Extract predictive information from large-scale market, trading and client datasets, developing robust features and models for noisy and non-stationary financial data.

• Full Lifecycle Ownership: Take models from research and validation through coding, deployment and real-time monitoring, with rigorous attention to out-of-sample performance, overfitting, model drift and changing market regimes.

• Trading Performance: Analyse strategy performance, PnL and risk exposures, using empirical evidence to enhance existing models and identify new trading opportunities.

• Technical Leadership & Innovation: Originate research ideas, challenge modelling assumptions, mentor colleagues and work closely with traders, quants and engineers to integrate AI-driven strategies into our e-trading platform.
