Senior Quantitative Researcher

The Client builds and trades proprietary quantitative strategies across global markets. As a Senior Quantitative Researcher you will invent, validate, and productionize signals that generate durable edge—turning research into live P&L that compounds our capital and reputation.

Performance Objectives

• Deliver at least two statistically robust, live-ready alpha strategies per year that meet internal Sharpe, capacity, and drawdown thresholds.
• Reduce research-to-production cycle time by 30% through reusable factor libraries, automated back-testing pipelines, and clean hand-offs to execution teams.
• Identify and neutralize at least one previously undetected source of model decay or data leakage each quarter.
• Mentor two junior researchers to independently ship production-grade research within 12 months.
• Publish internal white-papers that become the default methodology for a new asset class or market microstructure regime.
• Contribute measurable incremental P&L attribution of >$X million (risk-adjusted) within 18 months of joining.

Environment & Resources

You report to the Head of Research and sit with a tight team of 8–12 quants, traders, and engineers in Gurugram. You have unrestricted access to tick-level data, co-located compute, a dedicated research cluster, and a discretionary research budget for data, cloud, and conferences. Strategies you own go live with dedicated capital and low-latency infrastructure.

Essential Qualifications

• 5+ years building and shipping systematic strategies that have generated verifiable live P&L in equities, futures, or options.
• Demonstrated ability to move from raw idea → rigorous statistical validation → production code that survives real-market slippage and regime shifts.
• Expert-level Python/C++ plus deep fluency in time-series econometrics, machine learning under non-stationarity, and market-microstructure modeling.
• Track record of mentoring others and raising the research bar of an entire desk.
• Comfort operating without a playbook in a high-autonomy, high-accountability environment.

Role Selling Points

• True proprietary capital—no external LPs, no style-box constraints, full ownership of the P&L you create.
• Direct line from your research notebook to the matching engine; no layers of product or sales.
• Small, elite team where individual contribution is visible and rewarded in real time.
• Gurugram base with global market hours and the option to travel to our other trading hubs.
