“`html

Join a world-class team of mathematicians and data scientists to build high-frequency trading strategies from the comfort of your home. We are looking for a brilliant Quantitative Researcher to translate complex data into actionable alpha and drive unprecedented market growth.

Salary Range

$180,000 – $320,000 USD/year + Performance-Based Bonus

About the Role

As a Remote Quantitative Researcher at QuantEdge Capital, you will sit at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and financial markets. This isn’t a typical “maintenance” role; you will be tasked with discovering new patterns in massive datasets and developing predictive models that execute in milliseconds.

You will have full autonomy to explore unconventional hypotheses, utilizing our proprietary cloud computing infrastructure to backtest strategies across global equities, futures, and forex markets. Because this is a 100% remote position, we prioritize output, intellectual rigor, and clear communication over office presence. You will collaborate via asynchronous workflows and high-bandwidth virtual sprints to ensure our algorithms remain competitive in a volatile market.

What You Will Do

Strategy Development

Design, implement, and optimize systematic trading strategies. You will move from initial hypothesis to production-ready code, ensuring that every signal is statistically significant and risk-adjusted.

Data Engineering & Analysis

Mine terabytes of tick-level data to identify anomalies and correlations. You will build robust pipelines to clean noisy financial data and create features that provide a genuine edge over the competition.

Risk Modeling

Develop sophisticated risk management frameworks to protect capital during extreme market events. You will simulate “black swan” scenarios to ensure strategy resilience.

Requirements

Technical Expertise

• Education: PhD or Master’s degree in a quantitative field such as Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Financial Engineering.
• Programming: Expert-level proficiency in Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn) and experience with C++ for performance-critical components.
• Mathematics: Deep understanding of stochastic calculus, linear algebra, and time-series analysis.
• Experience: 3+ years of experience in a quantitative research role, preferably within a hedge fund, prop trading firm, or high-tech research lab.

Soft Skills

• Remote Discipline: Proven ability to manage complex projects independently in a work-from-home environment.
• Curiosity: An insatiable drive to understand why the market moves the way it does.
• Precision: An obsession with detail and a commitment to rigorous backtesting to avoid over-fitting.

Benefits of Working Remotely with QuantEdge

Financial & Wellness

Beyond the competitive base salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including premium health, dental, and vision insurance. We provide a generous 401(k) matching program to ensure your long-term financial security.

Home Office Stipend

We believe in providing the best tools for the job. You will receive a $5,000 initial home-office setup budget to purchase high-end monitors, ergonomic furniture, and the computing hardware necessary to perform your research efficiently.

Culture of Flexibility

We operate on a results-only work environment (ROWE). As long as your models are performing and your milestones are met, you have total control over your schedule, allowing for a true work-life integration.

Why This Role?

Most quantitative roles lock you in a skyscraper in New York or Chicago. We are breaking that mold. By offering this as a Remote Job for residents of the United States, we attract the best minds regardless of their zip code. If you are a mathematical powerhouse who prefers the quiet of a home office over the noise of a trading floor, QuantEdge Capital is your new home.
