I’m working with a newly launched, research-driven hedge fund in London that is building a systematic investment platform from scratch. The fund’s edge comes from leveraging alternative and traditional datasets to identify alpha across global markets. This is a unique chance to be an early member of the research team, helping shape the data and research strategy at the ground level.The fund is looking for a Data Scientist / Quantitative Researcher to generate alpha from alternative data sources. You’ll explore, structure, and analyze novel datasets, develop predictive models, and collaborate with engineers and portfolio managers to move research into production.Source, clean, and structure alternative datasets (web, geospatial, transactional, satellite, ESG, consumer, etc.) for research purposes.Develop and validate quantitative models to extract alpha signals.Build robust data pipelines for feature generation, backtesting, and analysis.Collaborate with engineers to ensure research translates into deployable strategies.Work closely with portfolio managers to align research with trading goals.
