Quantitative Researcher – Alternative Hedge Fund | CME Group Futures¿Le gusta esta oportunidad? Asegúrese de inscribirse rápido, ya que se espera un gran volumen de solicitudes. Desplácese hacia abajo para leer la descripción completa del puesto.We are an Alternative Hedge Fund at the start of an ambitious build, founded with the backing of a private equity firm that manages billions across Europe and Asia, and focused on systematic trading in CME Group futures markets. We are building our trading operation from the ground up — and we are looking for the person who will lead it from the research side.This is a mid- to senior-level role for someone who wants more than a position in a large team. You will be the principal Quantitative Researcher, working directly with the founders, with full ownership of the research agenda and direct responsibility for the strategies that go to market. What you build here will define the fund.The RoleYou will lead the development of systematic, medium-frequency trading strategies in CME futures markets — from signal research through to validated, production-ready solutions — built entirely from scratch. You will work with full tick-level order book data, design rigorous backtesting and stress testing frameworks, and ensure that every strategy that advances has survived honest transaction cost modelling and out-of-sample validation across a range of market conditions. You will operate within a small, technically exceptional team, supported by institutional-grade infrastructure including KX Systems, the technology of choice for the world's leading hedge funds and financial institutions.What We Are Looking ForProven mid- to senior-level experience in quantitative research in futures or closely related markets. You have developed systematic strategies with real data, and you can demonstrate that your work held up when execution costs and realistic market conditions were applied. You understand futures market microstructure — how order books behave, how liquidity moves, what edge actually looks like at medium frequency — and you have the statistical rigour to distinguish genuine signal from noise.A strong mathematical background is central to what we value. Probability theory, stochastic processes, and rigorous statistical inference are the foundations on which good systematic research is built, and we look for candidates who are as comfortable in that theoretical layer as they are with data and implementation. Knowledge of Artificial Intelligence and its application to systematic research is equally important — we see mathematics and AI as deeply complementary disciplines, and the intersection of the two is where we believe the most meaningful innovation in this domain will come from.Beyond the technical profile, we are looking for someone who wants to take on real responsibility and grow with the company. This is a role for someone who finds it more exciting to build something from the ground up than to be one researcher among many.What We OfferFull ownership of the research function from day one. Compensation tailored to the strength of your profile. A flat, high-calibre team with no corporate overhead. Location flexibility — we welcome global talent and fully support remote work within a European timezone. A direct, confidential recruitment process with no intermediaries.ConfidentialityThe entire recruitment process is strictly confidential from start to finish. Advancing past the initial interview stages may require signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). In return, we provide full transparency — any technical, strategic, or corporate information a candidate requires will be made available at the appropriate stage.To ApplySend a note and your CV to .We will open junior positions soon, but only when our internal workflow is robust enough to seamlessly integrate a junior team member. That should happen soon.In any case, if you are interested in this type of project, please share your information with us now.
