Job Summary

Jump Trading Group is committed to world class research. We empower exceptional talents in Mathematics Physics and Computer Science to seek scientific boundaries push through them and apply cutting edge research to global financial markets. Our culture is unique. Constant innovation requires fearlessness creativity intellectual honesty and a relentless competitive streak. We believe in winning together and unlocking unique individual talent by incentivizing collaboration and mutual respect. At Jump research outcomes drive more than superior risk adjusted returns. We design develop and deploy technologies that change our world fund start-ups across industries and partner with leading global research organizations and universities to solve problems.

At Jump we bring together world class talent battle tested infrastructure and serious research intensity to build and scale trading strategies across every asset class and time horizon. Equities as an asset class is competitive global and fast growing and we participate in the worlds equity markets via a vast array of businesses. Researchers coalesce around projects that may be market specific (investigating eccentricities and opportunities in specific venues or regions) latency specific (HF vs. Mid or Low Frequency) and research approach (ML vs. Deep Learning vs. hand crafted alphas; or groups focused on different swaths of data sets requiring deep expertise and focus). Our environment is a collaborative one seeking to strike the balance between deep focus and expertise where needed and the freedom to chase ideas across boundaries. Hierarchy and compartmentalization are not what we are about.

We are looking for experienced Quantitative Developers to join a mixed frequency research group (horizons range from many minutes to many days). Its a flat fast moving collaborative environment where each member has agency and of whom much is expected. The team is global as is the research and development.

What Youll Do:

Youll contribute to one or more of the following projects:
