Global Alpha Research - Trexquant

----------------------------------------------

Many academically-talented high-achieving individuals are interested in pursuing a career in quantitative finance.  One of the most important roles in quantitative finance is Alpha research, developing profitable trading signals based on real-world data.  Unfortunately, quantitative trading is a tight-knit industry where detailed information about building a successful career is difficult to find.  To address this problem, Trexquant created the Global Alpha Research program to provide a platform for career growth and advancement – participants in the program will gain direct experience in buy-side Alpha research and be mentored by senior Alpha Researchers. 

We are seeking bright and hard-working scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to join our talented team of Global Alpha Researchers in India to conduct exciting research to develop Alphas, which are signals that predict future stock returns.  The ideal researcher is analytical, creative, and persistent at finding strong Alphas.  If you are interested in trading and financial markets, and seek to work collaboratively with high-calibre quantitative researchers, this role may be of high interest to you. 

Responsibilities 

- Research and develop Alphas: market-neutral, medium-frequency signals that predict future stock returns. 

- Investigate and implement recent academic research. 

- Apply machine learning driven techniques to discover Alphas. 

Benefits 

- INR 65,000 monthly compensation plus performance-based bonus. 

- Flexibly work from any Internet-accessible location at any time of the day. 

- Invaluable learning and networking opportunities with global hedge fund managers. 

- Access to a robust, proprietary technology platform that enables users to efficiently explore and convert their creative ideas into Alpha signals that may be traded in the real world. 

- Mentoring and guidance from experienced quantitative researchers. 

- Full-time offers for top performers.
