• Conduct alpha / signal / feature research targeted at intraday futures trading strategies — from hypothesis generation through rigorous data analysis.
• Quickly prototype, backtest, and evaluate new trading ideas, using large-scale and high-frequency market data.
• Collaborate with developers, traders, and fellow researchers to design and implement a robust research-to-production pipeline. Once validated, see ideas through to full-scale deployment.
• Monitor and refine existing strategies, continuously evaluating performance, risk, and edge decay — and iterating to maintain or improve profitability.
• Explore and integrate new data sources, alternative data sets, and market microstructure signals to expand the research toolbox.
• Contribute to defining the strategic direction of research initiatives, including tooling, data infrastructure, and methodology improvements.

• Advanced degree (MSc, PhD, or equivalent) in a quantitative or technical discipline (Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Financial Engineering, or similar).
• Several years (5+ Years) of quantitative research experience, preferably in systematic trading, futures, HFT, or related high-frequency / high-throughput environments.
• Demonstrable track record of generating predictive signals in futures / derivatives / systematic trading.
• Excellent programming skills (e.g., Python, C++, or other relevant languages), and comfort working with large datasets and real-time data feeds.
• Strong statistical background, with experience in statistical modeling, time-series analysis, machine learning / ML-based approaches, and understanding of overfitting risk.
• Deep interest in market dynamics, high-frequency trading, and understanding of microstructure, order flow, and volatility — with an ability to translate that into actionable research.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a practical “business orientation”: able to assess strategy viability, robustness, and real-world performance.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — able to work effectively across teams (developers, traders, researchers).
