Data Scientist, NLP (Systematic Trading)

This one of the most respected quant firms on the planet. Tight-knit, fully collaborative and compiling some of the most exceptional scientific personnel across any industry. This particular team owns everything "alternative data". They algorithmically manipulate and optimize vast, messy raw datasets so that Quant Researchers can apply advanced ML techniques and build profitable automated trading models. They are as close the front line as they can be, without necessarily needing the Math PhDs required to actually run the alphas. But they are the creative inspiration behind many of the models. This team needs a new Lead Data Scientist, fully hands-on, likely overseeing 3 others. Ideal background: • 5+ years in a high calibre environment working on large scale algorithmic data optimisation. This doesn't need to be in finance - it could be in tech, autonomous driving, or any environment with significant technical complexity. • Genuine coding expertise in Python. • Degree from a top institution in CompSci, Physics, EE or Maths. Package: • Compensation won't be an obstacle for this business, they pay above the market. They can guarantee first year TC, buy out deferred bonuses or stock, and make a move comfortable.
