I’m working with a ~30-person prop trading firm in NYC, founded by ex Two Sigma researchers, with Harvard and MIT PhDs on the team.
They’re hiring a quant researcher to build intraday equity strategies, with room to own your research from idea to live trading. They want someone who’s built real alpha, has strong math and Python skills, and understands what makes a strategy work after costs.
Ideally, you have 2–7 years in systematic equities, futures, or options, plus a quantitative master’s or PhD.
Comp is around $300K base, with $850K–$1.5M total packages for exceptional candidates, potential direct P&L participation, and sign-on or deferred-comp buyouts. They can accommodate non-competes up to 15 months.
