This position is ideal for someone who enjoys combining mathematical rigor with hands-on engineering and wants to see research evolve into practical, impactful solutions.
The team values curiosity, experimentation, and thoughtful decision-making. Rather than forcing problems into a single framework, you'll evaluate multiple approaches, select the most appropriate methodology, and build well-structured solutions that deliver measurable results. You'll have the opportunity to work on challenging machine learning initiatives while contributing to an evolving data and research platform. Required Skills & Experience
  • Strong background in mathematics, statistics, optimization, or a related quantitative discipline
  • Experience applying machine learning techniques to solve complex business or research problems
  • Proficiency with Python and modern machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, XGBoost, or similar technologies
  • Experience designing, testing, and implementing machine learning models
  • Ability to build and maintain organized, scalable research codebases
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Experience evaluating multiple modeling approaches and selecting the best fit for a given problem
  • Ability to take projects from research and experimentation through production-ready implementation
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Experience with reinforcement learning, neural networks, ensemble methods, gradient boosting, random forests, or genetic algorithms
  • GPU optimization and performance tuning experience
  • Familiarity with Spark and/or Databricks
  • Experience working within AWS or distributed computing environments
  • Exposure to large-scale data pipelines and machine learning infrastructure
  • Interest in quantitative finance, investing, or financial markets
What You Will Be Doing Daily Responsibilities
  • Research and evaluate machine learning techniques to solve challenging quantitative problems
  • Apply advanced mathematical concepts to feature engineering, model development, and optimization efforts
  • Explore new research papers and emerging technologies, translating ideas into practical experiments
  • Develop and maintain scalable machine learning systems and research tooling
  • Build clean, organized, and maintainable code that supports ongoing research efforts
  • Collaborate with engineers and researchers to improve data pipelines and platform capabilities
  • Utilize AI-assisted development tools responsibly while maintaining high standards for code quality and validation
  • Continuously experiment, iterate, and improve model performance based on quantitative results
The Offer
  • Competitive base salary
  • Performance-based bonus opportunity
  • Exposure to cutting-edge machine learning research and engineering challenges
  • Collaborative and highly technical environment
  • Direct impact on research initiatives and technology strategy
  • Opportunity to work with modern cloud, distributed computing, and GPU-based technologies
You will receive the following benefits
  • Medical Insurance
  • Dental Benefits
  • Vision Benefits
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • 401(k)
Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the US on a full-time basis now and in the future.
