We are seeking a Quantitative Developer with a passion for machine learning, financial markets, and systematic trading. You will play a key role in designing, developing, and deploying our proprietary RL + LLM investment framework.
This position offers the opportunity to work on one of the most exciting challenges in modern finance: integrating AI-driven alpha generation with adaptive portfolio optimization and risk management.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement reinforcement learning models for portfolio optimization, allocation, and risk management.
- Develop and test actor-critic architectures such as PPO, DDPG, TD3, and SAC.
- Build LLM-powered signal generation systems using financial documents, earnings calls, news, social sentiment, and alternative datasets.
- Architect scalable pipelines that combine AI-generated alpha signals with portfolio construction and execution systems.
- Develop robust walk-forward and event-driven backtesting frameworks with realistic transaction cost and slippage modeling.
- Create advanced evaluation frameworks using metrics such as Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, Maximum Drawdown, Calmar Ratio, CVaR, and portfolio concentration measures.
- Collaborate with researchers and portfolio managers to convert quantitative research into production-ready trading systems.
- Optimize training and inference workflows for GPU-based environments and large-scale datasets.
- Ensure data integrity by implementing point-in-time data processing and eliminating look-ahead bias.
