Senior Quantitative Analyst
Imagine working with cutting-edge machine learning models, crunching high frequency data sets and sparring with exceptional and fun colleagues, all while taking part in scaling our business even further.
Does this sound highly appealing to you? Then you might be our new Senior Quantitative Analyst at Alipes Capital.
At Alipes Capital, we have been the market leader in automating the financial markets since we started back in 2008, shaping a fully automatic natural language processing system for reading and interpreting financial news.
Your work as a Senior Quantitative Analyst will involve turning massive data sets of financial information into mathematical models that accurately predict movements in the financial markets.
In doing so, you will get a chance to tackle a variety of challenging problems, such as:
- Development and optimization of new machine learning algorithms ranging from standard probabilistic models to deep layered kernel machines
- Creative data handling for new algorithms as well as existing ones
- Improving automated monitoring and benchmarking of the algorithms
You will get instant validation of your work and experience short feedback cycles, where going from inception to deployment can be a matter of hours. There will be no red tape to cut and no sales people to consult.
About the Team
All of this will happen in an informal atmosphere where technical discussions are valued, and you are encouraged to take ownership of, and pride in, your work. You will impact the direction of the team, prioritize your work and choose the tools that get the job done. We are a tight-knit modeling team with eleven passionate quantitative analysts covering 6 nationalities – eleven PhD’s and two MSc’s with expertise in statistical analysis, mathematical modeling and machine learning. We enjoy collaboration and are always willing to lend a helping hand. We are working alongside two other teams of software developers and economists that implement and conceive the mathematical models together with us. What makes this constellation work great is that all of the individual team members write code and understand that a seemingly trivial change can actually require a lot of work, and vice versa.
