Location: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Asia
Workplace: Remote
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Capital Markets, Trading & Quant
Seniority: Entry level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Signal research and construction: Develop, test, and productionize predictive signals across asset classes using a combination of statistical methods, machine learning, and AI agent–driven research workflows. Take ideas from hypothesis through backtest, validation, and deployment.
  • •Root cause analysis (RCA): Investigate model behavior, signal decay, PnL attribution, and unexpected trading outcomes. Build tools—including agentic ones—that accelerate diagnosis and shorten the loop between observation and fix.
  • •Market microstructure research: Study order book dynamics, execution costs, liquidity, and venue behavior to inform both signal design and execution strategy.
  • •AI agent infrastructure for research: Help design and extend internal agentic systems that automate parts of the research pipeline — data exploration, hypothesis generation, backtest configuration, results summarization, and report drafting.
  • •Collaborate broadly: Work closely with traders, engineers, and other researchers to turn ideas into live, monitored strategies.

Pay and Benefits

Perks:Remote Work

Key Requirements

  • •PhD (recently completed or near completion) in a quantitative field — e.g., Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Physics, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Operations Research, or a related discipline.
  • •Strong programming skills in Python; comfortable with the modern data and ML stack (NumPy, pandas, PyTorch or JAX, etc.).
  • •Hands-on experience building with AI agents and LLM-based systems — tool-using agents, multi-step reasoning pipelines, retrieval systems, or evaluation frameworks.
  • •Solid grounding in statistics, probability, and machine learning, with the rigor to know when a result is real and when it isn't.
  • •Genuine interest in financial markets and trading, demonstrable through coursework, personal projects, competitions, internships, or self-directed study.
